Known
as Africa's “Iron Lady”, President Sirleaf is a leading promoter of peace,
justice and democratic rule. The Harvard educated former World Bank economist
spent over a year in jail at the hands of the military dictatorship of
General Samuel Doe. She has survived death threats, political sabotage,
exile and divorce to become one of Forbes Magazine's Most Influential Women.
From humble beginnings to cabinet minister to Senior UN Ambassador, President
Sirleaf puts the needs of the people first, a people who elected her and
the Unity party with an impressive 59% of the vote. Prepare to be amazed
by the Iron Lady of Liberia and the obstacles she faces daily in the volatile
political landscape of Africa. A truly inspiring evening not to be missed. |
