Liberia: Children's Law Guarantees Rights of Children

This information is a few months old to some but new to me and I'm happy to hear it, read it, and pronounce it on SayconTalks.blogspot.com. Celebrating the children of Liberia. A law has been passed to make it imperative thtat the children of Liberia be protected, and allowed to flourish and grow! Making education and rather than juvenile labor a mandated priority for all Liberian children, bettering the quality of their lives. I've attached a video that talks all about it featuring Liberia's president, Madam Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf. I hope to learn more about this law in the days to come and I hope that it is effectively practiced and followed.

Please take a look at the UNICEF youtube video featuring highlights from that day,  here!

Ooooooh weee! Fashion! Fashion! Fashion! David Bowie said it best... Sometimes I have a week where I'm just fashion crazed and this was one of them! I attended he show by the fabulous Korto Momolu. The show was elegant and sophisticated, I loved it! Pics from the night are here! After waiting forever I finally got a photo with the Liberian designer, the L's we're making in the photo are for "Liberia!!!" The goodie bag was  amazing as well complete with hair products, jewelry, a t-shirt and a box of Cheerios!  I gotta celebrate Korto Momolu's promotion with Cheerios to help feed local hungry! Good stuff! PS-I was rocking the colorblock craze everyone's been into, not sure if it worked for me with the extra shiny hair but I liked the outfit when I bought it LOL. Muah!

Technology for Liberia

Preparing Liberia for success in the new millenium, I had the honor to lend my voice and energy to a cause very dear to my heart! We are seeking to make the technological infrastructure of Liberia and access to the internet a commonplace resource through out the land. Many thanks to sis Matu Saye for inviting me and treating me to top notch acommodations during this wonderful event. The band SidebySol was a gift of Philly soul to my ears. I enjoyed many of the best singers in Philly that night, and I closed the show out with my set.We jammed at the African-American Museum in Philadephia, PA. I was Liberian princess for a day! Liberian hugs and kisses yall! Please visit http://Technologyforliberia.com to make a monetary or technological contribution today.

Macdella Cooper Foundation Luncheon

There's no time like the present to make plans and I've been making big ones. One of the most exciting ventures I see coming forward will be more work with the Macdella Cooper foundation. I met Macdella Cooper a few months ago and performed in her La'Africana program a fundraiser for her school located in Liberia, West Africa. And god willing there will be more. Thanks to some really great artists who are lending their time, skill, and patience I will soon be presenting new songs, new music videos, and more live performances in the weeks and months to come. On a day that included meetings with all of them I started off at a small luncheon that featured some amzing people who intend to make change, each in his/her own way in Africa.

Performing at the Macdella Cooper Foundation L'Africana was amazing! I pray to use myself to help build my father's country, Liberia, to be one of the greatest in the world.
