Anne Odusanya, DrPH, MPH has a decade of public health experience, specifically related to maternal and child health (MCH) regarding community health behavior and education. This includes working alongside minoritized communities (BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and families of children and youth with special health care needs [CYSHCN]), in addition to equity-oriented program development, implementation, and evaluation nationally and internationally. She has investigated inequities concerning CYSHCN, breastfeeding and social determinants of health, and Black women in relation to racism, stress and depression during and after pregnancy. Having a younger sibling with Down syndrome, who passed away at a year old from an undetected congenital heart defect, fuels her passion for better serving families to move toward equity.

Prior to moving to Wendell, North Carolina, Anne collaborated with the Foundation in her former role in Wisconsin. She was a Black Maternal and Child Health Alliance of Dane County member, Saving Our Babies Advisory Group member, and a Black Women's Wellness Day Planning group member.

Anne holds a BS in Biology from the University of San Francisco, MPH in MCH from the University of South Florida, and her Doctor of Public Health in Community Health Behavior and Education from Georgia Southern University.

Ambassador Since: 2023
