I remember the Minnesota queen Decontee Koffa as one who had a true natural beauty about her, quite intellingent, and had an excellent command of delivering spoken word. During her talent she left the audience mesmerized as she delivered her poem that inspired Liberians to be the best that they can be.
Miss Koffa is a graduate of St. Cloud State University SCSU where she earn a BS degree in psychology. During her time at SCSU she became the founder and President of "Today Women", an award winner mentoring program that allows students of color at the University to serve as mentors to girls of color in their local school district. Ms Koffa is currently the Youth Services Conselor at the Central Minnesota Sexual Assult Center.
This Queen is definately using her crown to make a difference amongst the Liberian youth living in the Minnesota area. She is the first Queen to have established her own official non profit organizton dedicated to mentoring Liberian youth.
Miss Koffa is the Executive of the Liberian Youth Network. The Liberian Youth Network is a Minnesota based non profit Organization founded by seven young Liberian women. Their mission is to provide Liberian youth with the tools and resources need to empower themselves.
Ther goals are...
To give Liberian youth hope for a brighter future
