Zakpah Kaygea

Zakpah Kaygea | 6”x 9” | Oil on Panel 

Zakpah Kaygea is another of the friends I made in Philadelphia. She is from Liberia, a refugee from the political/tribal conflicts there.

She, like so many who come to America, finds it difficult to make her way. She is a strong, hardworking and caring woman who goes to considerable effort to care for, encourage and strengthen other Liberian refugees in South West Philadelphia.
 
If she looks care worn, well, she is. Still she brings her inner strength to those of less courage and strength who need her. Zakpah Kaygea walks the walk.
 
I am glad to know her.
