Last week, I had the pleasure of joining the U.S. Chargé d’Affaires for a wonderful engagement with Embassy staff and fellow alumni of U.S. fellowship and exchange programs. We reconnected, shared experiences, and celebrated the lasting value of people-to-people ties.
Last month, I had the privilege of working with former NDI Washington colleagues as a consultant on a pre-election assessment mission in The 🇬🇲, working alongside distinguished practitioners, including Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield & Prof. Attahiru Jega. 1/3
When my friends tell me I’m lazy, I actually believe them lol. My husband made us a home gym, shipped all kinds of equipment, even bought a PA system for entertainment lol. It’s months and I’ve not used it. I just walk pass it everyday like it’s not in my house 😂😂
Women in our family, total WINNERS.
Former Beauty Queen Yamundow Leigh Named Top Doctor at Stamford Hospital
former Gambian beauty queen and Africell brand ambassador Yamundow Leigh has completed residency at Stamford Hospital in Stamford, Connecticut, as Best Graduating Doctor in her cohort.
Leigh, a University of The Gambia graduate who passed the USMLE and matched into the U.S. programme, was also named Best Outpatient Physician. She received the Most Outstanding Physician Award for exceptional medical knowledge, a Teaching Excellence honour, and the Alfred W. Wolfsohn, M.D. Award for Excellence in Clinical Medicine.
Colleagues cited her clinical skill, compassion and work as a mentor. She now begins a new role as Assistant Clinical Professor.
Her path from pageants and national advertising to one of Connecticut’s leading hospitals has been hailed as a landmark for Gambian doctors training abroad. Supporters say the awards mark not only personal success but a new chapter of teaching and practice.
