“Proud to be an IMG , proud to be a Black woman from the African Sahel. Grateful to all friends and colleagues who peer mentored me and to the organizations that gave me the opportunity to be of service. All my love for African girls who are struggling even to have a primary school education and in unstinting support of public schools, public universities and universal health coverage.”
