My name is Camiyah Ford, and I am a junior in Howard University's Honors Program, double majoring in sociology and political science. I'm a first-generation college student from Richmond, Virginia, and I'm passionate about social justice, especially as it relates to political theory and race. My dedication to learning how Black communities can attain greater social and economic empowerment has grown as a result of my scholastic path.
As a certified makeup artist and brand ambassador for companies like Impressions of Beauty, Bumble Skincare, BOOHOO, and Good Molecules, I work in the beauty industry in addition to my education. Through this business, I've been able to embrace my love of beauty and develop my marketing and social media skills. I'm particularly curious about how Black women are affected by beauty standards and how the beauty industry can be a potent vehicle for economic independence and self-expression.
I also enjoy mentoring younger students, traveling, and writing poetry. I want to continue my path after graduation by going into law and fighting for justice and social equity.
