Dr. Abi Fapohunda is an instructor in the Department of Africana Studies as well as a trained epidemiologist and health educator with a focus on research in health equity, health in the African diaspora, and effectiveness of community-based public health initiatives. Over the next two years, aided by the GAP fellowship, Dr. Fapohunda has partnered with faculty at the University of Pittsburgh, the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, and Babcock University in Lagos, Nigeria in order to collect and share information regarding breast and cervical cancer awareness in underserved communities through the Global TEACH Project. Public health students, supported by this interdisciplinary group of faculty, will work to create a bridge between two specific communities of women: “hard-to-reach" women in Appalachia and the “invisible” women in Lagos, Nigeria. Dr. Fapohunda’s work will facilitate global partnership and additionally, help Pitt build a sustainable relationship with the Lakeshore Cancer Center in Lagos.
