Are you a Global Citizen?


As a DRC Woman, I believe a woman's mark on the world should not be shallow.

As an African American, I want race to be something celebrated and not discriminated against.

As a Liberian girl, I want to show other girls around the world that knowledge isn't the forbidden key, ignorance is. So obtain your key to unlock your own personal treasures, its your birthright.

As a daughter, I want to assure my mother and other mothers in the world that their little girls are strong and if given the opportunity can become an illustrious version of themselves.

As a global citizen, I say, the world is OURS. If not now, then when will we begin to repair it? 

I choose this very moment. This very second. This very breath.
