We hosted an informative session of experience sharing from such an inspiring source! We had the pleasure of hosting Haregewein Assefa Ph. D, R. Rh at the Ethiopian Association in the GTA as she walked us through her personal and academic journey.
Dr. Haregewin shared her stories of her early life in Adwa, her academic path through Addis Ababa University, and the challenges—and triumphs—of pursuing a PhD in Medicinal Chemistry as a Black woman and immigrant. Her contributions to science and her community show what’s possible when talent meets tenacity.
Thank you, Dr. Haregewein, for your powerful story and for lighting the way for future changemakers!
Thank you @lijtekle for sponsoring this empowering event.
