 Aminah Olajide '14
Executive Editor
Aminah Olajide is a freshman from Bordentown, New Jersey. She is currently undecided, but is attracted to English, Psychology and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. She believes that even though these three choices seem unrelated, they share a reality that she has always been obsessive about, the human condition. Each of these choices has its own manner of illuminating the complexity of human interaction, thus she is anxious to become a member of this magazine because she feels Africa is perhaps the most urgent region of focus for those who wish to commit to a deeper understanding of human circumstance. Unsure of what she will pursue, but sure of her strong interest in the development and progress of the African people she feels she will be a great addition to the VOA team.

Technology in Africa interests him, because, he believes technological advance and innovation is key to causing development and growth in Africa and may even improve health conditions; hence, it is one of the cultural aspects he believes people should focus on in Africa. Besides these, his most favorite thing about Africa is the food.
