Maleah will be attending Morgan State University, one of our nation's preeminent HBCUs located in Baltimore, Maryland where she will be majoring in Actuarial Science. Maleah is the daughter of Ms. Markeda Coker.
When asked about her time in our AKAelites program, Maleah stated that what she enjoyed most was "the mentorship from the AKAelites youth advisors, and having the ability to get support when needed."
As part of our Inaugural AKAelites youth, Maleah has excelled in representing the mission, vision and purpose of our program. But just as important, she has represented her family, her school and her community to the fullest. Maleah is one of the reasons that Psi Eta Omega continues to strive and do all that we can in service to our community and to the vision of our organization's founders!
