FACES of the Lowcountry Publication
MEET THE FACE OF A 6TH GENERATION GULLAH NATIVE
Omolola “Lola” Campbell
BINYA HILTON HEAD
Omolola “Lola” carries her heritage with both pride and purpose, weaving the rich traditions of the Gullah culture into everything she does. As a sixth-generation native Islander, her connection to her roots runs deep, and it shines through in her work with Binya, a gift shop and cultural consulting business dedicated to preserving and sharing Gullah stories.
For Lola, this journey is deeply personal. “I’ve always had pride in my heritage,” she shares, “and I wanted to create a space where those stories could be experienced and understood.” What began as a calling has grown into something truly special, offering both locals and visitors a meaningful glimpse into a culture that has shaped Hilton Head Island in profound ways.
Outside of work, Lola enjoys spending time with her community and family, especially her son Jaylen who inspires her daily, while continuing to carry her love for storytelling and culture into the way she lives and connects with others.
