We all have greatness inside of us. Midajah came to Gallaudet to be a student-athlete but got so much more out of her full experience here. Through athletics, and a top-quality education, Midajah discovered her greatness. She’s confident you will find yours here at Gallaudet.

Elevate to New Heights

When Midajah came to Gallaudet, she didn’t know her identity. She was trying to hide it to ‘fit in’. Once she arrived, her world changed – she fit in without trying to hide, she connected with people who understood her life experiences, and she even found not one, but several identities: Black. Female. Deaf. Athlete. These newfound identities allowed her to become a better athlete and person.
