Gree(n)tings everyone!!!
I hope you and yours are doing well. I've been very busy but happy, thanks be to God! On the evening of Thursday, February 19th, I did an interview on Voice of America's African Beat show with Mr. David Buakei Vandy in the District of Columbia studios. Besides being the show's host, Mr. Vandy is an actor, director, and playwright; he has been a director of two Sierra Leonean plays I've starred in, most recent was last summer in which I played the lead role Matorma.
