"Africa is on a dinner table Eaten
by Superpowers"
Me and My family emigrated to
America – to a town Southern California called San
Clemente.
Growing up, I’ve always wanted to go back and make a
difference to the people of Sierra Leone, because the
truth is, people don’t need to be living in such
poverty.
