OUR FOUNDER’s Story

People sometimes ask me why I started Liberian Awards. The shortest answer I can give is to fill a void in our community. I believe that majority of our community lacks awareness of the successes of Liberians in the Diaspora partly because of the size of the Diaspora in comparison to home. I also believe that our youths are beginning to question why our words and actions differ. Too often, we’ve not lived our expectations of them. Read More …

WHY DONATE

“Education is a human right with immense power to transform. On its foundation rest the cornerstones of freedom, democracy and sustainable human development.” ~Kofi Annan. Education transforms the lives of immigrants and minorities in a soon to be majority-minority nation. Liberian Awards cultivates opportunities for youths to acquire and apply education and, in so doing, contributes to the freedom, democracy, and sustainable human development that generations and nations will reap.

TESTIMONIALS

"Isn’t it great to have a Liberian organization that values the benefit of academic and professional success? Too often, it seems, our Liberian organizations focus on other values or do not honor these types of contributions and achievements. This is a good organization and there is a lot you can do to assist with its work."

Patricia Minikon

“It is both reassuring and affirming to see you, a younger professional with such vision and passion, undertake to create a process to inspire the development and achievement toward excellence of young Liberians and other young people of African descent.”

Dr. Corann Okorodudu

“The best thing about Liberian Awards is it is a useful way to show appreciation and provide role model to Liberian youth.”

Dr. D. Elwood Dunn

“Your program was well executed, and for your generation you are a shining star.”

Dr. Ciyata Coleman

“I...want to say a big thank you for all you are doing to make the lives of young people better.”

Mme Kona-Facia Freeman-Nepay

“I would like to extend ... warm thanks and appreciation to you and the entire group for the wonderful honor bestowed upon all of us. The hard work you all did was evident in the entire organization and implementation as the evening went on. The event was elegant, warm and welcoming. I am honored to have been chosen as one of the awardees and am willing to help in any way I can to make the event a continued success."

Ms. Jackie N. Sayegh

“I wanted to thank you again for the very fine program and the high honor bestowed on me and so many other deserving members of our community. Congratulations on a job well done!”

Dr. Dawn Cooper Barnes

"The best thing about Liberian Awards is the recognizing of Liberian accomplishments in America [and] creating an avenue for Liberian folks to connect across professions and disciplines...[T]he ceremony itself has become an event where Liberians and friends of Liberia can celebrate individual and group accomplishments, be inspired and have a memorable evening.”

Mr. Sengbe Kona Khasu

"On behalf of Sundial Creations, Richelieu Dennis, Nyema Tubman and myself, we're deeply honored to accept the award of "Business of the Year". We want to thank you and the Liberian Awards committee for your enthusiasm and belief in our business."
