Miss Liberia Maryland's Ambassador Tonia Karmara attends the Leon H Sullivan Summit Awards Dinner in Washington DC

On Thursday Dec 13 2007, Miss Liberia Maryland Ambassador Tonia Kamara attended the 5th annual Sullivan Awards Dinner held at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington DC.

The event was held in honor of his excellency the President of Tananzia for his work and contributions to the foundation.

The foundations mission is to carry on the spirit and legacy of Reverend Leon H. Sullivan, the great African-American international humanitarian.The Leon H. Sullivan Foundation leverage's the commitments and resources of the African Diaspora and friends of Africa to promote positive change in the world. Our work is guided by the principles that Reverend Sullivan championed: self-help, social responsibility, economic empowerment, and human rights. To that end the Foundation advocates on relevant domestic and international issues; supports the work of the Sullivan organizations, and provides a platform for Africa’s political, economic, and, cultural leaders.

The room was filled with African as well as African American celebrities as well as a slew of African American political leaders . Those who spoke that evening included Andrew Young and Jesse Jackson the entertainment for the evening was non other than commedian and actor Chris Tucker as well as Boys to Men who had just flew in from Paris to attend the event.

The Leon H. Sullivan Summits bring together the world’s political and business leaders, delegates representing national and international civil and multinational organizations, and members of academic institutions in order to focus attention and resources on Africa’s economic and social development. Their mission was inspired by Rev. Leon H. Sullivan’s belief that the development of Africa is a matter of global partnerships. It was particularly important to Rev. Sullivan that Africa’s Diaspora and Friends of Africa are active participants in Africa’s development.

Andrew Young gives remarks to the audience

After the event I caught up with Ms Kamara to get her thoughts on the event.

She expressed her greatfulness to be able to be able to attend such a grand event and see the genuine effort African Americans have towards the growth and developement of not only Liberia but Africa as a continent .

After the preformance Chris Tucker and Rev.Jesse Jackson come on onstage with Boys to Men to congratulate them for a spectacular show and for promotional photos.

Michael Jackson's Liberian Girl " Revisted"

As child when I first saw the Liberian girl video by Michael Jackson, I was rather disapointed in what I saw. I expected to see a beautiful Liberian or at least a west African woman mesmerizing some young man as words in the song suggests. This nagged me for years until I came across this video production done by C.K Productions for the Glamourous Labels

Check this out!!!

Fromer Liberian Queen Featured in the Liberian Girl Video

Since the original Liberian Girl song by Micheal Jackson, a lot of Liberian Artists have put out their verzions of a Liberian Girl song dedicated to promoting the beauty,talent and intellgence of our women.

Over the years these artists have gained access to better technology,sound equipment and video editing to create videos that could rival with those found on MTV and VH1 Among these Liberian Artist is an upcoming hip-hop and RB Artist called JODI

Check out his video "Liberian Girl"

PS Can you tell us name of the Former Miss Liberia in the US State Queen who is featured in this video???

Former Miss Liberia in the US Georgia State Queen Miss Harriette Thomas represents Liberia in the The Miss International Pageant in Toyko Japan

The 2007 Miss International Beauty Pageant is currently taking place in Tokyo (Japan) from October 2nd to October 15th. 66 beauties from all over the world will try to win the coveted title currently held by Daniela Di Giacomo of Venezuela.

Miss International (officially titled The International Beauty Pageant) is the fourth largest beauty pageant in the world. It was created in Long Beach, California, USA in 1960 after the departure of the Miss Universe pageant to Miami Beach. Hosted in Long Beach until 1967, the pageant moved to Japan from 1968–1970, being hosted each year in the same city as the Japan Expo. For 1971 and 1972, it was held in Long Beach again, but since that time it has been held annually in Japan.
Also called a "Festival of Beauty" and even the "Olympics of Beauty", this pageant is not based on looks alone. Contestants are expected to serve as "Ambassadors of Peace and Beauty", showing tenderness, benevolence, friendship, beauty, intelligence, ability to take action, and, most importantly, a great international sensibility.
The ultimate goal of the Miss International beauty pageant is to promote world peace, goodwill, and understanding.
