Born and raised in Sierra Leone, Mariatu is now a college
student in Toronto. She was named a UNICEF Special
Representative for Children and Armed Conflict, which
involved speaking to groups across North America about
her experiences. Prior to her UNICEF engagement, Mariatu
spoke publicly for the non-profit group Free the Children.
She has also travelled extensively speaking to high school
students and organizations about her physical and
emotional journey from a child victim of war in Sierra Leone
to a successful author, public speaker, and student in Canada.
