He hadn't worked yet.

And the only thing he could think of was to take on his last name, so that's how I got my last name, Momolu.

That was the best way to honor him, because what does a father do?

He gives you education.

So he started to work in the ranks of government in Liberia with his political career, and he got to about third in government.

And we had a good life.

You know, we had a big house.

We went to the best private school with the president's kids.

And we didn't want or need for anything.

And then in my seventh grade year, the teachers in Liberia went on strike.

And we were out of school for like three or four months and my parents were starting to get antsy and felt that we were falling behind.

So they started to look for other schools abroad.

And my father had a good relationship with the ambassador from Liberia to Canada and they found a boarding school there.

And just like that overnight, my sister and I were shipped across the waters to this boarding school.

We got there, it was bittersweet because I knew the sacrifices that they had made and other kids in my class were still out of school.

So I had to kind of suck it up as always.

But there was this art class that I loved in the school.

I really took a liking to it and the teacher saw something in me that I honestly didn't see in myself and she nurtured me.

She helped me build a portfolio up.

and actually get to where I wanted to go and apply to one of the top fashion schools in the country.
