Freetown’s Mayor Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr Reflects on Late Sia Kamara’s Last Birthday

August 29, 2024

Freetown’s Mayor, Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr, recently shared a heartfelt reflection on the last birthday of the late Sia Kamara, celebrated just four months ago.

In a video posted on social media, Aki-Sawyerr expressed her deep admiration for Sia, speaking kind and encouraging words over her life. The mayor praised Sia for her hard work and unwavering dedication to her job, noting how she was always ready to work, regardless of the hour.

“Your ability and willingness to learn new things is remarkable,” Aki-Sawyerr said, expressing her belief in Sia’s potential for growth and success. She also offered her blessings and prayed that Sia’s heart’s desires would be fulfilled.

Sia, in her response, shared how Aki-Sawyerr had been a mentor to her long before they worked together. She fondly recalled how she would mimic the mayor’s style, keeping her hair short and wearing red lipstick as a tribute to her role model.

Tragically, Sia’s life was cut short just weeks after that birthday, leaving a lasting impact on those who knew her.
