Episode 16: US-Sierra Leone Bilateral Relations
The Saibatu Mansaray Journey was privileged to sit with the US Ambassador to Sierra Leone to discuss the bilateral relationship between the United States and Sierra Leone. Ambassador Maria Brewer enlightened us on several concerted efforts in the health sector, human rights, legal/ correctional sector and her self help fund. Ambassador Brewer has served in Nigeria, Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan and this is her second stint in Sierra Leone. Her passion and commitment to public service while representing the United States abroad is what motivates her to wake up every morning.

Through my story and those of my amazing guests, I pray that our message touches the lives of people to be inspired, encouraged and informed all on all things faith, empowerment, global health, and beloved Mother Africa.
