Anuoluwapo (Anu) Titliayo-Samuel
Georgia State University
Degree
I got involved with Y4P because I was looking for a way to serve my community medically. As an immigrant myself, I understand how it can be difficult to adjust to life in a new country especially when it comes to health. However, I chose to leave my country, a lot of the refugees didn't have a choice and if there was anything I could do to make that transition easier, I was happy to no matter how small. I also loved the idea that it was a group of premeds and medical students who had this passion for the community and for medicine.

I joined Y4P to learn more about the communities that surround us. There is a lot that is happening in our world today and we may not know of it. I saw joining as a chance to educate myself about the refugee community we have here in Clarkston which is something I didn't know of before. I have always enjoyed volunteering and this was an opportunity to be mentored by medical students and give my time to the communities that surround us.

Y4P has a powerful multi-tiered model for changing health outcomes by focusing on prevention over cure. This mission and the grass-root level work Y4P fellows engage with resonated with me and was why I joined. Individuals have a lot of power to change their health outcomes through lifestyle choices and I am humbled to be a part of this effort.

I joined Y4P because a close friend of mine who was already part of the organization recommended it to me. I came to the orientation meeting and felt very welcomed. The first volunteering event I went to was very humbling since it was serving the Clarkson community of underserved people. I can't wait to see what's to come later in the semester!

I decided to join Y4P to help those who struggle to find their path to medicine. Growing up, I always found it hard to find mentors that would properly guide me to my goals.

Coming from a family of Eritrean refugees and immigrants, I know that language barriers ,high health illiteracy rates, and low socioeconomic statuses can impede individuals in obtaining adequate quality healthcare. Therefore, I joined you4prevent so that I had the opportunity to address health inequity and learn ways I can.
