What is your current role at Yale University?
Senior Administrative Assistant
What are your main responsibilities?
Over the last twelve years, Yale’s African American Affinity Group (YAAA) has celebrated Men’s Health Month by partnering with local medical volunteers to provide free blood pressure screenings and health information to members of the Greater New Haven community at local barbershops and salons.
During this Covid-19 crisis, our leadership Co-Chairs Fallon Thomas and Cherice McNeil have been guiding us to reappropriate our YAAA budget to support vulnerable communities and businesses in New Haven. Seven of Yale’s affinity groups contributed funds to provide Koffee Katering sandwiches to the Downtown Evening Soup Kitchen on April 14, which serves 130 people daily experiencing homelessness or living in poverty.
