AYA Educational Institute, directed Baba Wekesa  and Afiya Madzimoyo, MSW provides quality educational alternatives and resources for youth and adults of African descent. Since 1998 AYA's programs have immersed students, parents and other adults in an African-centered educational and social environment that is rich in our past and culture. The assessments, instruction and activities are designed to prepare them to excel academically and socially. These tools enable them to succeed in their current and future responsibilities to themselves, their families, our community, our people and the world (in that order)

Neema Smith from Charlotte is AYA’s student of the year. Due to her great work and tireless effort, Neema Smith was awarded the prestigious AYA student of the year award. Upon reflection on the school year this is what she had to say:

(Q) What have I learned?

    (A) …I've learned about the vast greatness of our people in all that we created and our strength against oppression. Another important item I've learned (about myself, actually) is how hard I will work to fully understand something.For example, I was, admittedly, nervous about learning physics. But by asking a lot of questions and really focusing on my work, I'm doing better with keeping up and understanding it.  

(Q) What is/has been difficult?

    (A) What has been most difficult (and still is) is the work load. Most of the time it is not a ridiculous amount, but it is heavy. I came from a very laid back, easygoing homeschooling system, so the AYA work load was hard to get used to.   

(Q) What is/has been most enjoyable?

    (A) To be completely honest, I wouldn't exactly use the word "enjoyable". To me, "fulfilling" is closest to what has been the most positive experience. It's very fulfilling to me to get a thumbs-up from an instructor. When I get assigned the homework, work on it, complete it, and turn it in with a "great work" from one of my teachers, then that's fulfilling.
