ABOUT DAIJHA
Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, I am an old soul with a modern mind. Having had the influence of four generations of family members before me, I have learned from my elders the importance of understanding the past to create a bright and promising future.
​
I am a Syracuse University graduate with a Bachelor of Science in public relations and a Bachelor of Arts in political philosophy. I have a passion for communications and believe in communicators’ impact on society. I enjoy working in the community and want to make the world a better place and give voices to those who do not have them.

PERSONAL CODE OF ETHICS
As an African-American woman, I welcome diversity and inclusion. I respect the ideas, opinions and thoughts of everyone, regardless of their backgrounds or identities. Those identities include, but are not limited to, sex, gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, age, culture, socioeconomic class and political beliefs. I will encourage the participation of people from different backgrounds and identities in discussion to provide a diverse set of thoughts and ideas for the marketplace of ideas.
Be Respectful.
Diversity is an integral part of any organization. I will respect people of all backgrounds and identities. I will respect my colleagues and their opinions even when they differ from my own. I will always be open-minded. I will always work to create a safe space where everyone feels comfortable and free to express themselves.
