Ask a Pharmacist- Africa

06/22/2026

I'm excited to share that for a limited time, we are giving away free eBook copies of a handy Pharmacy Career Overview Guide. A single eBook that summarizes 12 non-traditional pharmacy roles in one place.
Many pharmacists only know maybe 3 career paths and that was definitely me when I first got my PharmD! So, I wrote the guide I wish someone had handed me when I graduated from pharmacy school.

Pharmacist Careers Unlocked 🎉 🎉 , a 12-book series covering nontraditional pharmacy careers you do not always hear about. Roles like Pharmacovigilance, Medical Science Liaison, and more.

Each actual book is a complete roadmap: what the role looks like day to day, the credentials you need, a 90-day action plan, real career transition stories, and a full hiring guide.

🎁 FREE for 5 days only, June 22 to June 26, 2026
(The overview only, not the full 12-book set.)
Link to the free overview is👇

Reflecting about National Pharmacist Day! 🎉💊

Being a pharmacist is about more than medicine, it's about caring for people. Ask a Pharmacist-Africa, was founded in 2020 to provide access to pharmacist led initiatives in African communities.

This past December, our "Pharmacists for Orphans" project was implemented in Nigeria! This project has been a success in Cameroon and is now being scaled into other African countries. Our amazing team visited Little Saints Orphanage in Lagos, and spent the day with the beautiful children and their dedicated caregivers.

We shared health talks, conducted blood pressure screenings, discussed everything from personal hygiene to mental health and healthy boundaries, and donated essential items including sanitary supplies, school materials, and food. The highlight? Watching the kids proudly declare themselves "Health Heroes!" 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

We are SO grateful to the local pharmacists who traveled to make this happen, you poured your hearts into this event and it showed. Thank you for being the hands and feet of this mission!

And to everyone who donated supplies, gave financially, or supported us in any way, THANK YOU. You helped us touch lives and show these children that they matter.

This is what pharmacy looks like when we step outside the four walls. This is community. This is purpose.

Here's to all pharmacists making a difference every single day 🙌

Absolutely thrilled to share a recent milestone! My sister, Rev. Dr. Ango Fomuso Ekellem, MBI, MPsy, DD professor/expert in AI and Machine Learning, and I were honored to present our abstract poster at the Texas ACC 2025 Annual Meeting and brought home one of the top prizes for the work we presented.
This project is especially close to my heart, combining my passion for Pharmacogenomics with Dr. Ango’s cutting-edge skills in AI to carry out a truly impactful study. Seeing the potential of this partnership to drive innovation in healthcare is incredibly rewarding.

A huge thank you to the Texas Chapter of the American College of Cardiology(TC ACC) for recognizing our work and for the support they've shown our presentation. We are truly grateful!
