Greetings! My name is Lisa D-Dweh Seo. I am a Liberian living in the United States. I have a double major Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Political Science from Minnesota State University Moorhead. I am the Executive Director of a newly formed US-based nonprofit organization (Generational Empowerment Initiative ) whose principal foci are providing mental health, educational and community-based programs that assist individuals (1) affected by the use of alcohol and drugs, (2) those impacted by the long-term, post-traumatic effects of civil war, and (3) individuals who are experiencing the strain of extreme poverty and the lack of resources and opportunities.
