Her mother is the daughter of former President Howard of Liberia. When her father came to the United Nations in 1957 as his country's ambassador, he considered himself the representative of Africa rather than Liberia. Ethopia and Liberia were the only black African nations in the United Nations from its inception in 1945.

"Unless 1 can be an African in front of the camera," she says. "I am not interested in being 'shot'. It doesn't matter how much they want to pay me." Journalism remains her first love, however, although she readily admits she makes less money at it than when wearing one of her other "hats."
