For almost a generation, our country Liberia has gone throughout many hardships: military coups civil wars and years and years of corruption. Our nation was left in total shambles. Many Liberians fled to other countries all over the world. However, it is no secret that majority of Liberians took refuge in the United States. During the last generation, many Liberians took root here and found jobs, bought homes, raised 
familes, and had to quickly adapt to the ways of the American culture. Young Liberian females who were raised or born in the United States slowly began to lose the opportunity to learn about their Liberian heritage, culture, and values.
