It's unbelievable that those who are having some of the greatest impact are unknown and are the least seen on platforms like this. To be honest I don't know much about the former president of Liberia or the women here , but I'm grateful to come across the messages and concepts that are not always so obvious but are worth pondering. Everyone can be our teacher if we take the time to listen and reflect.
