Monrovia – The works of six young, female writers have been published in a new book about Liberia. The “Sexy Like A Book (Book one) Enchanting Voices” anthology is an effort of the Martha Juah Educational Foundation’s, an academic imitative designed to inspire young women and girls to improve their perspective on reading, literacy and education. The book is a product of the Sexy Like A Book Poetry Competition for Liberian Girls, which encourages girls to write and tell their stories their way; and a collaboration between the Foundation and Village Tales Publishing. The Martha Juah Educational Foundation is a charitable organization founded by Juah in 2008 to assist girls in rural Liberia to achieve their education through mentorship, scholarships and the provision of educational resources. Sexy Like A Book was launched in 2015 to inspire young girls to improve on reading, literacy and education in general.
