Kemo Fatty

I am a dedicated public policy professional with a Master’s degree in International Affairs from Penn State University, specializing in international public policy, & US-China-Africa Relations. My work has centered on legislative research, policy drafting, and community engagement, with a strong focus on national security, security sector reform, peacebuilding, and democratic governance in Africa. As a Public Policy Fellow at the Urban Leaders Fellowship in Atlanta, I collaborated with Georgia State Legislators to advance Sickle Cell Disease legislation, promoting health equity for marginalized communities.

Beyond policy work, I have extensive experience in youth empowerment and community development. As the Regional Coordinator for the Global Youth Parliament, I led high-level dialogues that secured huge funding for youth and women empowerment initiatives in The Gambia, fostering economic development and conflict resolution. My career passion lies in contributing to national security policy, civil-military relations, governance reforms, and international development, with a long-term goal of influencing peacebuilding and political transitions in Africa. I am always open to opportunities for policy research, security analysis, and legislative development. Let’s connect!
