Highlighting a Woman of the Gullah Culture

Film Executive Producer Omolola “Lola” Campbell Documents the Gullah Culture

Omolola “Lola” Campbell, member of the Hilton Head (SC) Chapter, was born and raised on Hilton Head and is a member of one of the island’s oldest native families. Her great-grandfather, Reverend Solomon Campbell, grandson of an enslaved man living on Hilton Head at the time the Union captured the island in 1861, is believed to be the first Gullah teacher born and raised on the island. Growing up in the Lowcountry, she developed a deep respect for the stories of her elders and has dedicated her work to preserving and elevating Gullah culture.

The Spirit We Move With, a new documentary, for which our own Link Lola Campbell is the executive producer, developed by the local Gullah community in partnership with the Hilton Head Island–Bluffton Chamber of Commerce, premiered on Thursday, February 12, at Historic Mitchelville Freedom Park, located on Hilton Head Island.

The event celebrated the film’s powerful exploration of heritage, identity, and cultural preservation on Hilton Head. The screening was followed by a talkback with Gullah cast members of the documentary, Link Lola, and the director and noted documentarian Andrew Maguire. 

In Lola’s own words, “The documentary means a great deal to the Gullah community. It shares our history, but it also shows that Gullah culture is alive, evolving, and deeply rooted in the community. We wanted people to see not just where we’ve come from, but where we are now and where we’re going. This true collaboration with the local chamber was built on trust and a shared commitment to telling the Gullah story with integrity."

The film has already earned recognition on the national and international film circuit, with official selections to: Virginia Black Film Festival: February 19–22, 2026 | Williamsburg, Virginia; The Rapport Black Film Festival: March 27–29, 2026 | Ritzy Cinema, London; and 2026 Black History Film Festival: Atlanta, DC, and Oakland.

We Continue to Walk the Walk!

We celebrated the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We took part in a march, tribute program, and luncheon. Even though the weather was cold, that did not stop our spirit and resolve to be part of a community event that honored his greatness. As usual, we took the opportunity to meet with other community organizations to create fellowships and partnerships.

We Are Against Human Trafficking!

We continue to support the initiatives of National. January was Human Trafficking Month - we all wore something blue. In our chapter picture we practiced how we should sit at the table in chapter business meetings, per our January Protocol Pearl. In preparation for Black History Month, we decorated our room with pictures and posters of our leaders and other notables that have had a major impact in our lives as African-Americans and for who we are truly grateful.

"Links in Pink"

Links in Pink Worship Service & "United by Unique" Community Brunch

The Hilton Head (SC) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated, in partnership with Central Oak Grove Missionary Baptist Church, came together for two extraordinary events celebrating faith, strength, and survivorship.

On October 5th, our Links in Pink Worship Service uplifted hearts with a powerful message from Reverend Donna Baker, who reminded us that hope, healing, and faith walk hand in hand.

Then on October 11th, we gathered again for our Community Brunch - "United by Unique." The program featured:

A soul-stirring performance from our featured soloist
A passionate youth orator reciting a poem about being a "Warrior."
Breast cancer survivors walking the "pink carpet" with confidence and courage
Inspiring guest speakers - all breast cancer survivors, including a patient nurse advocate and a courageous six-month survivor who closed with a powerful testimony
A Poster Arts Contest for students in grades 4 - 8, showcasing creativity, awareness, and hope

These two meaningful gatherings highlighted the beauty of community partnership, faith in action, and the unbreakable spirit of survivorship. Together, we are truly "United by Unique"" - linked in love, service, and sisterhood.

"Dress For Success"

Dressing for Success at South Carolina State University!

The Hilton Head (SC) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated, adorned in our signature green and white, partnered with the Savannah (GA) and Orangeburg (SC) Chapters to host a Dress for Success initiative at South Carolina State University's Bulldog Den.

Through this collaborative effort, spearheaded by our NTS and STY Facets, we provided professional attire for men and women - including suits, shirts, ties, shoes, purses, and jewelry - ensuring that students are well-prepared to look and feel their best as they step into internships, interviews, and leadership roles.

This effort reflects our commitment to empowering HBCU students to show up with confidence, excellence, and purpose - inside and out.

More to come on the exact number of items the chapter donated.
