Navigating the professional world as a young, “attractive”, female-identifying individual means walking a straight line of politeness and amiability without ever veering into the territory of flirtation- which is nearly impossible as a simple smile can be, and is often, misconstrued as a come-hither invitation.

Monrovia was not worth the hype. Upon my arrival, I had to face the irony of the environment and decide between the law and common sense.

However, illegal migration and the means through which people migrate illegally is dangerous, hence must be curtailed. Continue Reading
