POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Lions Mountains of Unity, Freedom, Justice 🇸🇱

My parents took one of the greatest risks a person can take, leaving Sierra Leone coming to Rochester, NY, during the midst of civil war with nothing but faith. After witnessing friends and family lose their lives with their own eyes, they made the impossible decision to leave home in hopes of giving their future child a chance at life.

I was their prayer. Their hope to break generational curses. Their dream to create a beginning that generations before us could only imagine. To be the first in my family to accomplish many things carries weight, but none of it exists without their sacrifice, their love, and their resilience. Without where they came from, there is no me.

Al-Hamid — The Praiseworthy.
Al-Majeed — The Most Honorable.
Jalloh — The Jambouria Village

To carry the names Hamid and Majeed is to carry two of Allah’s attributes within my identity. Al-Hamid — “The Most Praiseworthy” — is the One worthy of all gratitude, honor, and praise. Al-Majeed — “The Most Glorious, The Most Noble” — reflects majesty, dignity, and elevated honor. Jalloh, representing the strength, resilience, lineage, and beauty of the Fulani. Through every high and low, Allah has continued to guide my steps, even when I could not see the path myself.

When I first came to Howard, I didn’t fully have confidence in my culture or my religion. I was still learning how to embrace every part of who I was. But now, as I leave this place, I do so more proud than ever, proud to be Sierra Leonean, proud to be Muslim, and proud of the foundation my parents sacrificed everything to give me.

Alhumdulillah for it all 🤲🏾

“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

As I close this chapter as the 49th Mr. Howard University, I do so with nothing but love and gratitude. This journey was never about perfection. It was about impact. This role has had its ups and downs, but the thing that stayed the most consistent was the community around me. To you all I say thank you. To be able to represent in this role was not a dream come true, but a vision coming to focus. To @huroyalcourt thank you for the love , the support, and most importantly the family connections that will last a lifetime time.

One Final Wave,
Hamid M. Jalloh
The 49th Mr. Howard University

“If there is no struggle, there is no progress”

The Voyagers,
College days have swiftly passed, but the memories will last a lifetime. The mark you have all left on my life is permanent, carrying a weight that words alone can’t describe. We became the very definition of brotherhood, unwavering against the steepest odds, holding fast to one another. You have taught me how to walk as a better man, how to lead with purpose, and, above all, how to truly love as a brother. Our legacy will ripple far and wide as we chart new seas and continue this lifelong voyage.

With Love,

Thank you for giving me the courage to become the person I am today. Without y’all there is no me. The foundation for who I’ve become at Howard University and in life. My first accomplishment, that turned into a lifetime of brothers. X-Factor creating the standard of Kings in Every Corner, forever in each in every one of y’all’s corner.

Note to self: Never let anyone define your limits, because you were born to defy the odds and build a legacy that proves you can. taken in Howard University by @hamidmjal

Dear Howard University,

Today we became an official graduate. These past 4 years have been nothing short of transformative. From accepting of the kid that had no idea where he was going or how he was going to do it, to now having the power of community behind him in every endeavor. Thank you, thank you for the love, thank you for the strength, and thank you for turning me into the man I am today. Forever indebted to my now Alma Mater.

When from thee we’ve gone away,
May we strive for thee each day
As we sail life’s rugged sea,
O Howard, we’ll sing of thee. by @hamidmjal

A Dream Turned Reality

Words will never be enough to express what this moment means to me. From a freshman who didn’t know where he belonged to now standing as the 49th Mr. Howard University — this moment is bigger than me. It’s a reflection of every trial, every lesson, and every moment I chose to keep going.

I fasted during this campaign, not just from food, but from doubt, fear, and ego, trusting that what’s meant for me would never miss me. By Allah’s grace, I’m here.

To my support system @vannahjae @jahmereee @mylezdawson @_sydalexa @gracebkalere @erinchapman0 and every person who uplifted me when I couldn’t uplift myself — this is our victory.

And to the students of Howard: I don’t take this crown lightly. I promise to show up for you every single day, to lead with love, to listen, and to work relentlessly to make you proud. I will be a reflection of your voices, your stories, and the power of what it means to be a Bison.

Thank you, Howard. We did it — together. And the work is only just beginning. by @hamidmjal
