Upon graduating from Harvard Business School, Maddy, born in Liberia and educated in Britain and the US, relocates to Tanzania to execute a start-up business providing telephone service. With the excitement attendant to starting a new company and the soul-searching of a young woman on a mission, Maddy brings personal experience and a different perspective on the troubled history of conquest and colonization of Africa, including the resettlement of American slaves in Liberia.

Africa is love,no money but lots of love in Africa,when an African gave u a smile it is real,coming to the so called the developed countries taught me to love Africa more,there are many people in developed countries yet no people to talk to ,it is so lonely ,they smile but u can tell it is not from the heart,they are always in a hurry no time speak to other people ,to me it is not humanity.
Blacks have the lowest I.Q.s of any ethnic group in the U.S. They also have the highest drop out rates, highest crime rates, highest incarceration rates, highest drug use rates, highest S.T.D. rates. Niggers are scum.
f**k africa and all the big lip n****rs there. its just a waste of f**king land peice of shit hole. just nuke that f**king place and build something else. SKIN HEADS RULE bitches!!!
What she said about the Mandingo tribe being entrepreneural is very true. They are the only Liberians who are seriously competing in business with the Lebanese and other foreign business people in Liberia.
@goinginwater i know, almost 90% of us africans from high school attend college
wow this vid is really kind of old, but i am inspired by her words of encouragement to develop in africa.
The pepper chicken was without equal! Proud of you,Monique. Used to know you when I’d come over to swap comic books with Rustum. Inspiring book you put together. Good luck with your projects. Peter Gaul
stereotypically they say asian immigrants are “smart” the truth is the largest group of immgrants that are more likley to be educated are african GOOGLE IT! i’m one of them
Enjoyed the talk especially at the end when it was mentioned that under terrible conditions, love exists stripped of the trappings. If we can learn to strike a balance between “advancement” and “love” for people, animals, plants, and planet; I believe we will find ourselves on the next rung of evolution.
got videos? submit dem to me and i’ll upload dem, its free! no charge
Good on you Miss Maddy. Good on you!
wow nice
An African Proverb: ‘The tale of the hunt will always glorify the hunter until the lion gets its own historian.’ Tell our story from our perspective and together we can shine new life on Africa, but my Liberia in particular. Maddy, gone buy our book. Keep it up.
My warm gratitude to Monique Maddy for her kind heart and courage to work hard to infest change and understanding in people in africa…way to go lady.
This is the most profound topic of gratitude anybody ever said about Africa in recent time… I was born in Benin(West Africa) and I love dearly every where I have been on the continent. I now live in canada, but home sick, and feel the urge to go back and help in any level of my ability.
