“It’s almost like family because I’ve had the opportunity to come to her in a family setting to sit with them and talk with them,”
Mrs. Johnson Sirleaf described the late Mrs. Rawlings as a woman of strength, faith, and purpose, noting that their relationship went beyond diplomacy.
She recalled her admiration for the Rawlings family, particularly for their eldest daughter, whom she described as a promising leader among African women.
