I was honored to be selected to present my research at the 2024 Association of Maternal, Child, and Adolescent Health Program Annual Conference, which was held in Oakland, CA. The 5-day conference experience was enriching and reiterated my commitment to maternal and infant health. Through workshops, speaker panels, group lunches, and dancing to AfroBeats with all of the conference attendees, I made long-standing connections with other attendees, while learning so much from those around me.
