Poet, Advocate, Coach, Co/Founder of Sickle Cell Association of The Gambia, Founder of SOuL JustBe, Sickle Cell Lifestyle magazine and Founder of Epilepsy for Black Africans and other Minoritized Ethics (E4BAME).
Njaimeh is a Gambian born in NewCastle, United Kingdom. The first child of the Late Chief Salifu Lamin Bora Mboge of Naimina Dankuku, The Gambia, she was taken back home at two months old to learn the ways of her people.
In 2019, she would find herself with her first child having been married for over 6 years by then.
Being born in the UK and visiting multiple times as her holiday home and her home for the duration of her Master in HRM in 2016/17, Ms. Mboge chose the UK as her safe haven for the delivery of her child, Latifa.
Latifa was however born with extensive cerebral palsy and difficult to control epilepsy. She only lived to see her fifth birthday, leaving Njaimeh childless and medically stuck in the UK as Njaimeh lives with Sickle Cell Anaemia.
I am not just celebrating a new age; I am celebrating growth.
The pains, the quiet battles, the risks no one saw and the discipline I chose even when motivation was low.
This past year stretched me, it humbled me and it strengthened me.
I have learned that growth is not always loud. Sometimes it happens in silence when you decide not to quit. When you keep showing up. When you choose progress over excuses. In some seasons, progress can be defined as not giving up.
There were days I questioned myself and days I felt uncertain but I kept going.
I am learning that leadership is not about noise; it is about responsibility. It is about impact. It is about becoming better than you were yesterday.
As I step into this new year I am choosing clarity. I am choosing courage and I am choosing consistency.
I am not trying to compete with anyone. I am building my own path at my own pace.
If you are in a season where it feels slow or unnoticed, keep going. Growth is happening even when it does not feel dramatic or obvious to your physical eyes.
I am grateful for life
I am grateful for lessons
I am grateful for the journey ahead
I am grateful to my family
I am most grateful to God Almighty for His Mercy and Grace.
This is only the beginning.
I pray for Divine direction and Divine positioning.
I enjoy the gift of men as well as gifts from men. Modeling gigs can start coming as well!
I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of the Reverend Jesse Jackson. His death feels personal to me, because I had the honour and privilege of spending time with him when he visited Bradford with the Rainbow Coalition.
Hosting Reverend Jackson here in our city was a moment I will always treasure. He took time to meet with members of the African and Caribbean community, listening carefully, encouraging us, and affirming the importance of our collective struggle and shared humanity. Later, when he addressed the audience at Bradford Cathedral, his presence filled the space—not just with words, but with purpose, conviction, and hope.
What struck me most about Reverend Jackson was how he spoke directly to our responsibilities, not just our rights. One simple question he asked has stayed with me ever since: “Do you know your children’s teacher?” It landed deeply. In that moment, he challenged us—especially as Black parents and as Black men—to be more present in our children’s education, to support them, guide them, and take ownership of their future. It wasn’t said in judgement, but in love and expectation, and it changed the way I think about community responsibility.
Reverend Jesse Jackson was a real inspiration to me. He embodied what it means to bring people together across communities, cultures, and countries, while never losing sight of the everyday realities facing our families. His visit to Bradford reminded us that our local struggles are connected to a global movement for justice and dignity.
I am grateful to have met him, to have learned from him, and to carry forward the lessons he shared. His voice may now be silent, but his legacy lives on in the lives he touched and the seeds he planted in all of us.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family, the Rainbow Coalition, and all those around the world who are mourning his loss. May he rest in peace and power.
