Liberia's President Optimistic About Her Nation's Future

Last week, Liberia's President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf returned home after a 10-day visit to the United States and Ghana. The former World Bank official was elected as Africa's first female president four years ago and has received generally high marks in trying to rebuild the West African nation. WYPR's Sunni Khalid recently traveled to Liberia on an International Reporting Project Gatekeeper Editors trip and met with President Johnson Sirleaf upon her return to Monrovia.
