"The Kendeja building was meant to be a symbol of Liberia’s commitment to promoting our arts and cultures. So, it is a shame to see that we no longer have such a historical site and the past government did nothing for its rebirth."

"I am saying this because we need a space where artists can come together to showcase their work and where cultural events can be held. I hope President Boakai can prioritize the reconstruction of the Kendeja building to ensure that Liberia’s arts and cultures continue to thrive."

"We cannot put a price on the value of our arts and cultures because the Kendeja building is more than just a physical structure; it is a symbol of our identity as Liberians and by rebuilding it, we are investing in the future of our country and ensuring that our cultural heritage continues to be celebrated and preserved for generations to come."

"These are very troubling things. I don’t like to sing this song, but we do because we have to take a message to the people."

"At the time, I didn’t know the word therapy. But I knew that singing to the people make them feel better."

"So when I wrote that song, everywhere I went to perform in any refugee camp people, would cry and always sit and talk. Because as you live, you cannot keep your problems to yourself."
