Yours truly in the news

My presence in the Liberian media continued throughout the week. My article was published on Tuesday and then several articles about my workshops appeared on Wednesday.

(Please note that the photo in the article was from a speech I gave at Smith 2 years ago and it seems that they flipped it around for layout purposes... The quality of Liberian media... *sigh*)

Then today, I was all over the radio. This morning, I was a guest on a morning radio program called “Coffee Break” to talk about the content and purpose of last week’s workshops as well as share information about YAI’s projects. As part of my project on increasing youth awareness and participation in the TRC process, I was one of the special guests on the UNMIL radio show “Looking at the TRC” this afternoon. My friend and fellow radio guest posted an MP3 of the program here: Here


This weeklong media blitz made me a bit of a local celebrity but I tried not to let it get to my head. Basically it just felt great to reach out to a broader audience and hopefully have a little impact beyond Monrovia.
