Hello world!!!
Hope all is well with you and yours. Last Friday, I attended the Save Sierra Leone Foundation Top 100 Humanitarians Hall of Fame Awards in Maryland. When I was informed a couple of months ago that I was chosen as one of the recipients of this Award, I was very honored and excited. The list of recipients contains a dynamic group of women and men in various works of life working towards the betterment of all Sierra Leoneans and society as a whole. I was chosen as a recipient for this Award because of my work with When You Believe Foundation, and continuous efforts to girls' and women's empowerment in all communities.
The night was inspiring, and it was wonderful seeing some familiar faces, as well as getting to meet new people. I was blessed to have had my family with me at the event, and sharing this special moment with me. Being at the event was also a nice break from my co-op and the engineering world, and getting to socialize a bit. I was very happy to have been given the opportunity to speak a little about my personal platform, SHERO, as Miss Sierra Leone USA. Enjoy the photos and "thank you" video below!
