As we begin to prepare for the second iteration of the Yale Model Africa Union, it’s important to once again, recognize all the hardwork that our predecessors put into making this dream become a reality. Thank you to Francesa, Richard, and Ornella for paving the way and doing what was never done before. With that being said, we are excited to share this very special announcement with you. Congratulations to Fatoumata Soumare and Julia Oladipo, the two new co-presidents of YMAU!
