Pictured here, Joseta is one of the top students in her high school class.
I worked with UNICEF on a project about what Liberian teenage girls dream of for themselves and their country. I had such a great time doing a positive story about young women who are leaders in their community that it actually made me drop the cynical mask for a few minutes and tear up with hope and pride.
Part of it will be debuted at the Women's Colloquium happening this weekend in Monrovia.
Assuming the town's infrastructure isn't so overloaded that the internet breaks, I'll post more photos and updates next week.
(And if you miss the more cynical side of this lion, check out the photo here.)

Netball ... now that was a truly loathsome game.
You have been sounding really .. ahem ... positive of late. It must be the Liberian air.
Loathsome game? I've been looking for a good bball court in Monrovia. You'll have to point me the right way.
Hello
I'm a spaniard interested in knowing a bit more about what is in Africa, other than serengeti, inmense deserts and tribal rituals. I want to know how it is everyday life beyond the topics. In that sense your blog and similar others can be a good help.
Thank you for sharing
Regards
