We kick off our celebration of #BlackHistoryMonth with Dr. Sonya Anyaka, Ph.D., a distinguished figure in public health, epidemiology, and academia. As a proud #NOVA alumna, researcher, educator, and professor with over a decade of experience, she has navigated her educational journey as a student parent and a mother of three.
Dr. Anyaka spoke at the second annual #StudentParent Conference last fall, sharing her story of determination and perseverance in the face of many struggles. From discovering her passion for healthcare at NOVA to earning her doctoral degree, Sonya has always pressed forward. She is grateful to NOVA and her mentors-including Dr. Beatrice McKeithen who first told Sonya about the College-who helped shape the person she is today.
“Reaching the highest level of education and building a successful career while still being there for your children and your family is possible,” Anyaka said. “Those early struggles, the sacrifices you make and the tears you shed will lead to a brighter future for you and your children.”
