Kadijah Mansaray

Kadijah Mansaray is a compassionate, driven, and multifaceted individual who combines her passion for service with a relentless pursuit of excellence. Deeply committed to caring for others and lifting others as she climbs, Kadijah founded MIRR Mentors, a mentorship program that connects Howard University students with young learners from marginalized communities. Her advocacy extends to children with sickle cell anemia, where she partners with local organizations to raise awareness and provide support.

Kadijah’s tenacity is evident in her actions, when she saw the lack of a DECA chapter at Howard University, she took initiative to establish one. Additionally, despite the HU ASB community service program typically selecting upperclassmen for leadership roles, Kadijah promoted herself and was chosen as a Team Leader as a Freshman. 

Her multifaceted nature shines through in her diverse interests. She is passionate about fashion and is working to launch her own clothing line. She also has a love for psychology, which led her to join a psychology research group at Howard. Kadijah is driven by a desire to make a meaningful impact and continually strives for growth and excellence.

She aspires to leverage her education and experience to make a lasting impact in her community and beyond, working toward a future where underrepresented voices are empowered through education and opportunity.
