“My music brings life to people. I want to celebrate people and bring them together. I also know that music can motivate people, that’s why sometimes I just dive into this humanitarian job as a musician.”

“Growing up with my stepfather wasn't the perfect childhood. He was violent, especially after he had a drink. My mom and I as females didn’t have a voice in the house. It was almost like he was our boss. And you don't say anything when your boss is wrong, even when what you think is right. It was scary and at a certain point, I hated men.”

“A man will never put me in a position where I’m silent anymore. I know my worth, I know who I am and I know what I'm capable of, and besides that, we're not in a century anymore where women remain silent. In Africa, women are supposed to submit to their men once they’re married, but you need to remember that you have a voice. Women need to know their rights.”

Recorded in: Liberia’s FaithVonic: on making music to overcome tragedy and diving into humanitarian aid, By Puck Wagemaker, retrieved on 08/08/2021
“Growing up was tough. I am a survivor of sexual violence and have struggled with my mental health, but music was my escape. The love I have for music is one of the best ways I can express my feelings and inspire others. I want to see more Liberian young women with the confidence to use music, art, and creative activism to express themselves and advocate for their rights. The scariest thing for me is that some people are doubting that we even have Covid-19.”

“I want every young girl in Liberia to normalise working hard and being her own boss. Let us work towards making Liberia a better place, because I believe it is us, the women, who can do it.”
