Olayinka has been a Lifetime Scholar in Africana Studies and a self-made student of cultural Development. She is a former New York City Research Scientist II - Evaluator with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Bureaus of HIV/AIDS and Health Care Access and Improvement.Harris-Olayinka continued her dual career track through 2019, as Online Adjunct Professor at SUNY's Empire State College, Center for Distance Learning, as Instructor of "The United States Health Systems" and "Roots and Routes of African Diaspora Resistance." Olayinka earned a Dual Degree in Sociology and African-American Studies from Brooklyn College in 1974. Ms. Olayinka earned a Master of Professional Studies from Cornell University in 1985 with a multidisciplinary degree in African and African American Studies and a minor concentration in Communication Arts. Her intellectual curiosity concerned the somewhat contemporary events that occurred following the mass migrations to the big cities. Communication research provided her with functional skills in Community Research and the Psychology of Behavior and Attitude Change. This gave rise to a cumulative forty years in Human Services Management in public health, integrated health care for family and community well-being. Ms. Olayinka honed her expertise via community-based initiatives, which enhanced her understanding of the challenges of documenting effective program planning, development, and implementation. Ms. Verda Olayinka recognizes (2022) The #Black Folks Plan, How did we get here? written by Chairman Hershel Daniels, Jr., to be the perfect parallel policy enactment to activate the essential keys to energize marching orders for Solutions Specialists all over the World. Friends of the African Union has been paving the way to activate and empower this new strategy for Sons and Daughters of Kemet (Africa) to "Save-Our-Selves, One-By-One and All-Together." Ms. Harris-Olayinka would like to thank Sanja Dzadzevic for her beautiful layout and attention to detail during the layout process.view less
