I hope you and yours are doing well. I am doing great, all thanks to the Almighty. Join me as I celebrate the Republic of Sierra Leone during the independence month in April. Throughout this month, I have been highlighting the history of our nation, as well as phenomenal women and men who have made significant impact in the nation at home and in diaspora communities worldwide. The conversation has already started, so find me on Facebook, twitter, or Instagram. Below is the list of things and people highlighted for the second week in April.

Freetown is the city I was born and raised in, and represented at the 2012 Miss Sierra Leone USA pageant. As Miss Freetown USA, I carried that title with pride and wore that sash with honor because I know the significant role this city has played in cultivating Sierra Leone's modern history, and that it is the hub for all ethnic groups in the country.
We must do more to empower women and girls to ensure that our girls finish school and that they can contribute to the development of Sierra Leone.
