Founder’s Story
Resistance, Resilience, and Resoluteness
A renowned women’s rights campaigner and social justice activist, our founder and executive director, Lindora Kolu Howard-Diawara, understands what it means and how it feels to be a woman searching for survival in a postwar setting.
Lindora experienced severe adversity as a child, including surviving a raging civil war that engulfed her homeland, Liberia, when she was only 12 years old. She began working for peace at 21, unceasingly advocating for equality while pushing for social cohesion across communities and cultures.
