PERSONAL: Parents are Omolegho and Olufemi Ojeikere. Siblings are Taiye, Kehinde, and Fumi Ojeikere. Most influential person is her mom because "she works so hard, and balances it all. She is a natural caretaker and I inherited that from her. She is my rock and still treats me like her little baby."

Picked UCSC because it is a beautiful place "where I can thrive. UCSC gives me the home away from home and I need and love that community." Hobbies include her small business for hair and makeup, cooking and "turning dreams into short stories. I am also big on activism and even planned my own protest."
