Growing up in Africa many people see it as a challenge to survive, while some see it as a place like no other place on earth, likewise growing up in Liberia some sees it as a hell hole to survive in, while others see it as a place like any other nation where opportunities are just different and you have to take it by all means.
Let us look at a few young men and women that refuse to be by the roadside begging. They stood up and took what belongs to them by force and today they are among those making the news among young people.
Dorris Irena King: Started in video scenes, (music videos) now she’s one of the most influential young ladies in the country when it comes to a brand of a lady to get your music video more attractive and getting more views. Her pure dark skin glows and makes both genders to smile at her natural beauty. She was first seen in a music video by CIC and LDrez called ”Modayma, ” next in a video with Stunna called ”Oh Lady.” Today Dorris isn’t just a name you mention without her peer saying ”oh! we know her. ” A lot of people asked her why she never contested for Most Beautiful Girl in Liberia when it started, she only replied saying, ” I could not because I had a lot to handle at home, school and family affairs that could not grant me the chance to get time doing other entertaining things at that moment.”
Dorris is set to make a bigger move and she’s also a beautician and a makeup artist that works from home when called upon she makes her way through to make her own cash. She said she can’t sit and do nothing in a society that gives her all the opportunities needed to make ends meet. This lady is one of the youngest and most determined and well-focused lady that don’t let others make it happen for her always but she too plays a major role in her own success. The challenges are there as a young and beautiful lady, but she’s fighting temptation with her skills to survive.
