This episode dives into the bold promises of a new Liberian leadership aiming to tackle corruption and increase accountability. Listeners are introduced to Richard Walker Warner, an Atlanta-based designer originally from Liberia, who shares his story of resilience and determination from escaping war to beginning a fashion journey.
