Gbovadeh Gbilia
Liberia
Gbovadeh is a God fearing and loving husband and father of one. He is an African; Liberian to be exact, who loves his peoples, and tries his best to preserve and promote our glorious culture, history, heritage, and traditions to the international community. Yet, he identifies himself as a global citizen because of his affinity towards other people's cultures and his passion to learn from people of different backgrounds. Gbovadeh was raised by a single-parent, Maiyealei Nickie Zanie-Morris, who dedicated her life to serving her people. He says, “My life has been dedicated to serving my people; I'm truly my mother's child... and strive to live up to her legacy!"
