@morehouse1867’s student-led news org, The Maroon Tiger is the no. 1 award-winning HBCU newspaper. The organ of student expression since 1898.

ATLANTA, GA –Laila Leigh’s Streamer University jou ATLANTA, GA –Laila Leigh’s Streamer University journey started on cardboard in a pink room in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. From a young age, her family has taught her to speak things into existence: grades, internship opportunities and now the chance to build her brand as a social media influencer.

“[Laila’s father] believes in speaking things into existence. I believe in writing it down and making it plain. Laila’s been around all these concepts,” said Mai Leigh, Laila’s mother. “She has books about manifestation.”

Laila Leigh, who goes by “LailaSimoneTV” on Twitch, hopes that Streamer University is just one step in a path that leads to a career as an entertainment correspondent. She has memories of watching “Good Morning America” and “106 and Park,” respectively. The show’s hosts, Robin Roberts and Rocsi Diaz, were her role models. Watching them helped Leigh realize she wanted a life in front of the camera.

The Lightbearer honors an individual who leaves a lasting light, carrying the torch in a way that illuminates a path for many others.
