Ms. Njaimeh Mboge

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.
