The Chains of Tradition - Mikel Jentzsch

Mikel Jentzsch author of Blood Brothers - Our Friendship in Liberia Below is an essay written by the author of "Blood Brothers - Our Friendship in Liberia," Mikel Jentzsch.   The Chains of Tradition   Journalist David Lamb once wrote:“Ten thousand AMERICAN farmers turned loose on AFRICA´s soil could transform the face-and future- of the continent as surely as they did their own land. It seems so easy. Yet farming is still a hoe-and-sickle enterprise…more primitive than any in the world.” I have often thought about this quote with great frustration. Why couldn´t 10,000 AFRICAN farmers do what other farmers have done to their country? As I grew up in Liberia and have built up a Moringa Farm in Nimba, Liberia, I have gathered enough hands-on experience to dare an assessment. If you ask yourself and your business associates honestly, they will agree that tribal influences, jealousy, bureaucratic oppression, corruption and traditional thinking will make ho

Meet the Pink Panthers: Liberia’s first female fleet of motorcycle taxi drivers

Clad in bright pink jackets and helmets, the entrepreneurial group of female motorbike taxi drivers—dubbed the Pink Panthers All-Girls Motorcycle Club—is challenging the cultural norm in Liberia and doing a so-called “man’s job”, with gusto. Thanks to support from the U.N. Development Programme and Angie Brooks International Centre , a Liberian NGO for women’s rights, the girls have gone from being a loosely banded novelty of female riders to a branded entity with official gear. Now, the two agencies are working together to help Liberia’s first female fleet of motorcycle taxis get financing for their bikes and protection from harassment. The women picked the name Pink Panthers because pink referred to femininity and panther to strength in an effort to reflect their ability to work in a male-dominant environment.  It’s a risky gig, acknowledges Dearest Coleman, the 30-year-old founder of the group. During her six years working as a motorbike driver, she’s been r

Tourism Tops Nagbe’s Agenda -Says “It Is The Strongest Point At MICAT”

Eugene Lenn Nagbe Growth over the last several years has made tourism one of the world’s most significant sources of employment and Gross Domestic Products (GDP) particularly for developing economies. In Liberia, the tourism sector remains largely untapped. The West African nation is swarmed with beautiful sceneries that include lush vegetations, cascading rivers and springs, serene lakes, mountains, lagoons, fine tropical weather, as well as a host of phenomenal endangered species that could attract revenue and development. The newly appointed Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism Eugene Lenn Nagbe says his first priority is to develop the sector. Speaking on Capitol FM’s “Late Edition” talk show on Monday, January 11, 2016, Minister Nagbe said, “This is the strongest point at MICAT but it is that point that has been most overlooked and underutilized.” Minister Nagbe who has served has headed the Ministries of Transport and Youth and Sports stres

Liberia's Mobile Phone Company CellCom Sold to a French Company Called Orange

French telecommunications group Orange said Tuesday it had reached an agreement to buy 100 percent of Cellcom, Liberia's number two mobile operator, for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition "will enable Orange to strengthen its positions in Africa, which is a strategic priority for the Group", it said in a statement. Orange noted that the Liberian market had room for expansion as only two-thirds of the population own a mobile phone, a lower rate than in other countries in West Africa. With a considerable number of subscribers already, "Cellcom has excellent potential for growth over the coming years", said Orange. The company's founders and employees will remain involved in the business to support its performance, Orange said, and it would contribute marketing and technical expertise to further strengthen the network operator.

Maralee Bradley wrote the controversial piece to share the steps she has taken to ensure the safety of her Liberian son. M oved by the failure of a grand jury to indict Timothy Loehmann , the officer who shot and killed 12-year-old  Tamir Rice ,  Maralee Bradley, the White adoptive mother of a Black son, posted an essay on her blog titled  To the White Parents Of My Black Son’s Friends . Bradley wrote the controversial piece to share the steps she has taken to ensure the safety of her Liberian son. An excerpt from To the White Parents Of My Black Son’s Friends reads: I’ve been wrestling with talking to you about some things I think you need to know. I’ve wrestled with it because I feel my own sense of shame– shame that I didn’t know or understand these issues before they touched my family. I’ve felt fear that you’ll respond in subtle ways that make it clear you aren’t safe for my child. I’ve been concerned that you won’t believe me and then I’ll feel more angry than if I h

Become A Better Performer

Tan Tan An artist inbox me on Facebook about a week ago, asking for some tips on how to be a better performer.  I promised him that I would do an article, hopefully it will help other artists who are interested as well.  Here it is.  1. It's about the audience.  No matter how much you practice in your room or at rehearsal, it all means nothing if you can't connect with your audience. Your audience is filled with fans and fans-to-be. Chances are, they've spent their hard-earned cash to get into the door tonight, and dammit, you'd better give them something worthwhile! Once you enter that stage, remember that it's no longer about you anymore. It's about them and how you make them feel. This is your audience, and their hope is to be taken away from their everyday life for just a few hours to enjoy some live music that they can truly connect with. Whether your material will make them smile, cry, or rock out, it's imperative that you engage t

Reggae Artist Black Diamond’s Charitable Efforts

By: Claudia Sara Smith   During the month of December, many homeless people received handouts, which included sandwiches and cans of soft drink. Not a day went by that a mouth was not fed, which has been a gesture of kinds that has positively affected the homeless. Reggae star Black Diamond, who’s been making hits after hits since the start of 2003 and is also a two-time award winner chipped in along with Sarah Monika, an Australian professional, in feeding the less fortunate. “I decided to help out with the feeding initiative because I believe in giving and being there for those that are in need; the ones who society has forgotten,” Black Diamond said. “We have to become involved in opening opportunities for the next generation and not just focus on ourselves. I do these things because I was in their shoes and would not want to sit around and watch our people go hungry around the holiday season,” he noted. Hundreds of people have stood aside and watched t

Colloque Singer DenG Quits Music: “I need to stop dreaming and face reality”

DenG Liberia's hit maker, DenG, the first Liberian artist to sing R&B in Colloque, creating a new genre of music called Colloque & Rhythm, dropping hit songs like Kemah, Lappa Fine, Jue You Bad and many more, claimed that he is quitting the Music Industry and starting a business.  The artist who just returned to Liberia from a tour in Australia, posted this morning on his facebook page, "Starting my own business now and forgetting about this whole music thing because it's a total waste of time." In an inbox chat, DenG told C Liberia clearly, "Every day is the same story, nothing changing, it's time to focus. I need to stop dreaming and face reality." The reality is, the music industry is a hard road to travel.  It takes more than talent to survive, it takes determination, patience, and hard work.  Most can't handle the demands.  Music is normally not an overnight success. Many years of no money but more work.   

Interview with Buffy C. Joseph-Fredericks, Founder and Director of Liberian Women in Business Empowerment Network

Buffy C. Joseph-Fredericks "For the Liberian woman desiring to take that vision from a dream state to reality, I say... just DO it. Do not wait for everything to be perfect. Learn everything about the industry you want to do business in. Never stop learning. Network and connect with people who inspire you, cheer you on  and will boldly tell you when things are not right. Know that there will be challenges and obstacles; understand  that you might have to hit the reset button a couple of times and you might have to let some people go. You will fall, but get up and keep pounding every time you do. Find mentors, but be wise about the counsel you receive. Just because someone loves you doesn't mean they know what's best for you and your endeavors. Finally, partner with God. He knows what's best and He has an amazing plan for all of us." Buffy C. Joseph-Fredericks  Buffy C. Joseph-Fredericks believes in impact made by women.  She is the founder and di
