Meet an Akwa Ibom Daughter who becomes the First Black Woman President of Harvard.

The prestigious Harvard Law Review has elected its first black woman president in its 130-year history.

Ime Ime Umanah, 24, from Abak Local Government is a daughter of Late Dr. Ime Sampson Umanah, a Nigerian immigrant. She grew up in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. She's a joint degree candidate at Harvard Law School and the Harvard Kennedy School of Government.
Umana was chosen by the Harvard Law Review's 92 student editors in what is widely considered the highest-ranked position that a student can have at the cut-throat law school.

She is the first African-American woman to lead a journal that has the largest reach of any law journal in the world.
The difficult election process required a thorough dissection of her work and application, and a 12-hour long deliberation of her portfolio.

The first black man to be elected president was Barack Obama 27 years ago, while it has been 41 years since the first woman, Susan Estrich, was elected.

Women can do better���

Congratulations!

Beautiful.

Thank God this one did not see slaying as a profession.

Ladies of value dont use their bodies to gratify men but use their brain to birth changes in the society.

While the leaders that effected changes in the colonial era took time to build their knowledge so as to speak with authority in the face of opposition, youths of today use empty headed spoilt rich kids as role model.
so we wait in vain for the tomorrow that the youths of today will be the leaders and it seems to be a mirage
