Hey everyone!! My name is Haniyyah (she​/​her), and I’m a sophomore majoring in International Relations with an Africana minor from Long Island, New York. I’m going to be an International Attorney after getting into the law school of my choice to advocate for International Human Rights. I focus my work on child labor laws and wealth inequality. On campus, I am Community Service Chair of Black Pre-Law Association, Marketing Chair of Shea Collective, and mentor kids (3rd-7th grade) with DREAM every Friday!! You might see me in Faces of Black Penn or The Walk fashion shows because I am a model as well! At home, I enjoy going on runs with BrickbyBrick Run Club in LI, reading, and spending time with family. Outside of school, I create content on social media and go on walks :) I was once in your shoes, so I’m glad to be of helpl!
