Tell Us Your Good Deed

I see myself when I see the world. I've always been able to feel the hardship of others. Through my lived experiences having had the opportunity to work in developing countries, I have seen that the world isn't equitable to women, children, people of religious background, people with disability, and people of certain racial groups. To make a small impact in this world, I founded an international NGO in Liberia, where I was born. HVK Children's Foundation works in 6 rural schools with offices located at 44 Portland st., Worcester, and Liberia.

Why are you participating?

I didn't know that I was "black" until I came to live in America. Labels aren't a good way to how we view humanity. As God's children, we should be seen by the measure of the human heart rather than the labels society forcibly attach on us.

I work with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and make monthly donations to UNICEF (children). I feed the homeless at a community church ever 2nd Saturday of the month.

Why are you participating?

Labels given to me by others create a sense of "I know you" for them but does not represent who I am or even give a pixel of a full picture of me. Allow me to tell you who I am, what I label myself as and mainly why I'm using the label I chose to use for myself.
