"I reached my breaking point." Ayisha Thompson -Olajide talks about leaving a toxic relationship to protect her children.

09/11/2026

Ayisha Thompson-Olajide’s HBCU journey began long before she ever stepped onto campus. Raised by a Jamaican immigrant mother in Brooklyn, she did not initially see college as part of her future. But her mother believed in a bigger path, and that belief eventually became reality when her mother accepted a position at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore and the family moved to Salisbury, Maryland. Ayisha describes it as a culture shock, but also as an opening that helped shape the person she would become. The story is a reminder that sacrifice often plants the first seeds of legacy. One of the most emotional parts of Ayisha’s story is the loss of her mother at age 17, just as she was beginning her college journey. She recalls how quickly everything changed, moving from routine doctor’s appointments to hospice to saying goodbye.

Inspiring quotes:
“Be the young lady that I raised.”
“You have everything that you need to take it to the next level.”
“Be your own cheerleader, become your own hero.”

HBCU Her Voice Student Spotlight

Meet Akilah Lopez, an incoming freshman at Huston-Tillotson University and member of the Class of 2030.

Akilah is beginning her HBCU journey with excitement, an open mind, and a desire to grow. She chose HT because she wanted a community where she could feel supported, connected, and understood.

But Akilah is bringing something powerful with her, a story of resilience.

Her cancer journey taught her strength, compassion, patience, and the importance of never assuming you know what someone else may be going through.

Now, she’s pursuing Psychology with the goal of becoming a child life specialist, helping children and families navigate difficult moments with comfort and support. 💛

Her advice to students beginning their HBCU journey? Be yourself. Try new things. Meet new people. Ask for help. And make the most of the experience.

Welcome to the Hilltop, Akilah. We can’t wait to see where your journey takes you. 🖤💛

This is HBCU Her Voice—honoring the students carrying forward a legacy while creating one of their own.
