Not sure how to express how important Sammy was to the community & what a joy she was to be around. We drove up to UF to meet Jane Goodall in 2015 & she taught me how to be confident in such an intimidating environment.
I'm so happy to have met her. May she rest in peace.
It is with utmost sorrow and heavy hearts to announce the passing of our President and Co-Founder of BlackinChem, Samantha “Sammy” Mensah. She was a phenomenal activist, leader, inventor, science communicator. and a doctoral candidate in chemistry at UCLA. (1/3)
