On Friday, I accomplished two long-held dreams to earn a law degree and graduate from a Liberian institution. I am grateful to God for this journey and my family and loved ones for their unwavering support. #NeverGiveup #StayDetermined

I recently had the incredible honor of meeting two inspiring young Liberians, Garmai and Ireland, who were recently selected as Mandela Washington Fellows! They will be studying at the University of Delaware for six weeks, alongside 23 other talented fellows from across Africa.

I recently had a fantastic interview with Tamar Guttmann for her systems change podcast, "A World From Scratch." Tamar, an entrepreneur, impact producer, and advisor from Amsterdam, the Netherlands, is passionate about the intersection of arts and social impact.

I am proud of Rev. Bimba and the incredible work he's doing at Chap Liberia to produce Liberian rice. One simple policy goal we can set as Liberians is to ensure that within ten years, we no longer import any food products that we can grow or produce ourselves.

I used to paint when I was much younger. Most of my work was destroyed during the war, with the exception of this one, which was brought to the United States by Mrs. Izetta Cooper. I got to see it this weekend for the first time in 36 years!

Saddened by the loss of Ms. Pam Shoemaker, who headed the PG TYP program at Northfield Mount Hermon School (NMH). Rest in peace, Ms. Shoe. Your impact will forever be felt, and your spirit will continue to inspire generations to come.

I am blessed to be able to see yet another year. As my clock strikes 43, I remain in awe of the journey God has guided me through and the limitless possibilities that lie ahead. Cheers to the amazing future that awaits!

Tomorrow, I'm going to cast my vote for JNB #1 and encourage you to do the same. JNB was not my first choice, but I believe he is the best choice for Liberia's future and development. Don't underestimate the power of your presence and your vote. Your vote is your voice.
