In honor of Women’s Month, I had the incredible privilege of being invited to stand among some of the most powerful women and business owners in America at the Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs.

It was more than just an event, it was a moment of purpose. I was not only able to share my story, but to learn how to transform it into something even greater: a powerful tool that can inspire others and generate income.

This impactful workshop was led by three phenomenal leaders—Brian Johnson, Taurea Vision Avant, and Ash Cash, the founders of the BookRich Profits Club.

Taurea Vision Avant, a two-time TEDx speaker and author of over 15 books, continues to empower authors, coaches, and entrepreneurs to turn their stories into platforms for visibility and influence. Through her work, she has helped thousands step into their purpose and build their brand.

Brian Johnson, a five-time Emmy Award-winning producer, brought storytelling to life in a way that reminded us that our voices matter. His expertise in shaping narratives for major networks and brands has helped leaders create lasting impact through authentic connection.

Ash Cash, a renowned financial educator and CEO of MindRight Money Management, shared invaluable insights on building wealth while aligning mindset, purpose, and spirituality. His journey from bank manager to influential voice in financial literacy is truly inspiring.

I left this experience empowered, equipped, and even more committed to using my voice, my story, and my purpose to create impact.

This is what Women’s Month is all about, lifting as we climb, owning our stories, and turning them into legacy.

Today, I didn’t just witness history but I felt it.

I stood in a place where decisions are made, where voices rise, and where change begins… and for once, that change carried the faces, the stories, and the dreams of people with disabilities.

My heart overflowed as I witnessed the proclamation of World Down Syndrome Day at the State Capitol. March 21st is no longer just a date, it is a declaration. A declaration that our children are seen. That their lives matter. That their futures are worth fighting for.

For so long, families like mine have prayed, hoped, and pushed for moments like this to be acknowledged, to be included, to be heard. And today, that prayer was answered.

To Representative Scott Hilton—thank you for standing with us, for believing in our children, and for using your voice to uplift those who are too often overlooked.
To Senator Drew Echols—thank you for helping turn our hopes into action and making this day one that will echo for generations.
Many thanks to Representative Noelle Kahaian, Legislative Aide, Diego Luque, and all those who assisted in making this day a wonderful one.

This is bigger than a proclamation. This is a movement. This is love in action. This is a promise that no child, no family, no person with disabilities will ever be pushed aside or forgotten again.

We will keep rising. We will keep advocating. We will keep believing.

Because our PWDs are not invisible.
They are powerful.
They are worthy.
They are everything.

And we will NEVER leave them behind.

❤️ Ada, PWDs mama.

Today on Harriet Tubman Day, we honor the extraordinary life of Harriet Tubman, a woman who turned pain into purpose and oppression into a movement for freedom.

After suffering a severe head injury that left her with lifelong seizures and sudden sleep episodes, Harriet Tubman did not allow her disability to define her limits. Instead, she became one of the most courageous leaders in history, guiding enslaved people to freedom through the Underground Railroad and standing firmly for justice and human dignity.

Her life reminds us that disability does not diminish leadership, courage, or impact. Harriet Tubman’s legacy continues to inspire the global fight for human rights, inclusion, and equal opportunities for persons with disabilities.

Today, we celebrate her strength, her faith, and her unwavering commitment to freedom. May her story remind us that true leadership is rooted in courage, compassion, and justice for all.

Today we mark International Women’s Day, a day of celebration, but also a day of accountability. Women across our communities and around the world continue to lead, sacrifice, innovate, and build stronger societies. Yet far too many women and girls still face injustice, inequality, violence, and barriers to opportunity.

We must move beyond words and commit to real action. Equal pay must become a reality, not a promise. Women must have a seat at every decision-making table, from local communities to national governments. The safety, dignity, and rights of women and girls must be protected everywhere.

The progress we seek will not happen unless we stand up, speak out, and challenge systems that continue to hold women back. Empowering women is not just a moral responsibility, it is essential for economic growth, strong democracies, and lasting peace.

Today, we honor the women who came before us, we stand with the women fighting for justice today, and we commit ourselves to building a future where every woman and every girl can live free, lead boldly, and reach her full potential.

When women rise, nations rise.

Today marks a pivotal moment for accountability and the restoration of trust between the American people and those charged with protecting our homeland.

I commend President Donald Trump, our Commander in Chief, for taking decisive action in removing Kristi Noem from her position as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. Leadership requires accountability, and the American people deserve a government that listens when their concerns are raised.

Across this nation, many citizens have expressed deep concern over the direction and conduct of immigration enforcement. When the actions of those entrusted with authority lead to tragedy, the American people deserve transparency, justice, and answers. The names Alex Pretti and Renee Good must never be forgotten. Their lives matter, and their stories remind us why oversight and accountability are essential in a democracy.

I want the American people to know that advocacy matters. I, Adama, have personally written several letters to state senators, members of Congress, and directly to the White House raising concerns about immigration policy and enforcement practices. Civic engagement is the foundation of a healthy democracy, and I will continue to speak out for justice, fairness, and responsible leadership.

Let me be clear: I support legal immigration. America has always been a nation of laws and a nation of opportunity. Those who come here lawfully seeking freedom and a better life strengthen our country. At the same time, we must address criminal activity with seriousness and fairness. We must uphold the rule of law while protecting the dignity and rights of every human being.

Now is the time to rebuild trust. Now is the time to ensure that the Department of Homeland Security serves the American people with integrity, transparency, and unity, not division.

This is not about partisan politics. This is about the American people. It is about justice. It is about restoring faith in the institutions that protect our nation.

May we move forward together, stronger, wiser, and united.

God bless America.
And may God continue to bless and protect our President, Donald Trump.
God bless you president Trump

Statement on National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month

Issued by Dr. Ada
CEO, Adama Team Foundation

March marks National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month, a time not only to raise awareness, but to reaffirm our unwavering commitment to protecting the dignity, rights, and full inclusion of individuals with developmental disabilities.

As an advocate, a leader, and someone who works closely with families navigating complex systems, I see firsthand both the challenges and the extraordinary resilience within our community. Developmental disabilities are not deficits, they are part of the rich diversity of our human experience. What limits individuals is not their diagnosis, but the barriers society places in their path.

This month calls us to move beyond symbolic recognition. It calls us to action.

We must strengthen policies that expand access to healthcare, education, employment, and community-based services. We must protect critical programs that support independence. And we must ensure that individuals with developmental disabilities are not spoken for, but empowered to speak for themselves.

True inclusion means access.
True equity means opportunity.
True leadership means standing in the gap when systems fail.

I remain committed to advocating at every level, from community spaces to legislative halls, to ensure that people with developmental disabilities are seen, heard, and valued. Their contributions strengthen our workforce, our schools, our faith communities, and our nation.

Let this month remind us that awareness is only the beginning. The real work is building a society where every person, regardless of ability, has the opportunity to live with purpose, independence, and respect.

Together, we will continue pushing forward, not just for recognition, but for lasting change.

National Advocacy Statement: A Call to Action on Free Medical Services for Persons with Disabilities in Sierra Leone

I issue this urgent national call to the Parliament and Government of Sierra Leone to immediately enforce and fully implement the provisions of the 2011 Disability Act that guarantee free medical services for persons with disabilities.

More than a decade after this landmark law was passed, the reality on the ground tells a painful story. Persons with disabilities continue to be denied the free medical care that is their legal right. In hospitals and clinics across the country, individuals with disabilities are still being asked to pay for consultations, medications, tests, and treatment that the law clearly states should be provided free of charge.

This is not merely an administrative failure, it is a national injustice.

Every day that this law remains poorly implemented, persons with disabilities suffer needlessly. Many are left untreated. Some are forced to stay home because they cannot afford care. Others lose their lives to preventable and treatable conditions. These are not statistics, these are Sierra Leoneans whose rights are being ignored.

The 2011 Disability Act was meant to protect one of the most vulnerable populations in our nation. Yet today, that protection exists largely on paper while persons with disabilities continue to struggle for survival.

Parliament must act with urgency and moral responsibility.

We call on Parliament to:

Ensure full and immediate enforcement of free medical services for persons with disabilities

Provide adequate funding for disability-inclusive healthcare

Establish strong monitoring and accountability mechanisms

Sanction institutions and personnel who violate the law

Guarantee that no person with a disability is turned away because they cannot pay

The Government of Sierra Leone must demonstrate that the rights of persons with disabilities are not symbolic promises but enforceable guarantees.

A nation is judged by how it treats its most vulnerable citizens. Sierra Leone must not fail its persons with disabilities.

This is a call for justice. This is a call for dignity. This is a call to save lives.

Parliament must act now.

His Excellency, Julius Maada Bio

Happy Armed Forces Day to the Commander-in-Chief of the Republic of Sierra Leone and to all the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve in the military.

Your Excellency, Julius Maada Bio,

My name is Dr. Adama Bangura, a psychologist and an appointee for the State of Maryland under Governor Wes Moore. I write this open letter with deep respect on this important national day.

Armed Forces Day is a time set aside to honor the courage, sacrifice, discipline, and patriotism of the men and women of the Republic of Sierra Leone Armed Forces. It is a day to recognize their unwavering commitment to defending our sovereignty, maintaining peace, and protecting the people of Sierra Leone. It is also a day to remember those who paid the ultimate price and to acknowledge the families who stand behind our service members.

As a psychologist and someone who has worked within public service systems, I understand firsthand the long-term effects of war, trauma, and service-related injuries. Many of our former soldiers are living with physical disabilities, psychological trauma, and emotional scars that require structured and sustained support. When these needs are not properly addressed, individuals and families suffer silently.

Having served under the United States Department of Defense and now serving in state government, I have observed systems where veterans’ healthcare, disability benefits, and reintegration programs are institutional priorities. While every country faces different realities, I respectfully believe Sierra Leone has room to strengthen its framework for veterans and persons with disabilities.

Your Excellency, while we celebrate today, I also wish to respectfully draw attention to the condition of many former service members who are now living with disabilities, physical, emotional, and psychological because of their service. Their sacrifices deserve not only recognition, but meaningful care, rehabilitation, and long-term support.

Mr. President, I also wish to call your attention to the life and legacy of the late Jesse Jackson, a renowned American civil rights activist who was a mentor to me as a young student. He once shared with us his service and time in Sierra Leone while visiting war victims and survivors. At a Dr. King commemorative event, he encouraged students never to forget victims of war-torn nations. And as the only student in the room born in Sierra Leone at the time, his words profoundly impacted me. The late Reverend reminded us that justice, inclusion, and dignity must never be selective. He emphasized that vulnerable communities, including war survivors and people with disabilities, must not be forgotten after conflicts end.

Disability is not a distant issue; it is part of the human condition. Many leaders and notable individuals across the world have eventually lived with disabilities. The policies implemented today will shape the dignity and security of future generations. I humbly urge you to take bold action, to expand military and veterans’ benefits, strengthen mental health services, ensure disability inclusion in national decision-making processes, and appoint experienced professionals to effectively lead disability affairs.

At the end of your administration, your legacy could be remembered as one that transformed disability policy in Sierra Leone, ensuring that veterans, war survivors, and all persons with disabilities are treated with honor and fairness. May you one day look back with pride, knowing that you built systems that uplifted the most vulnerable and strengthened the nation’s global standing.

As a Sierra Leonean by birth and a professional serving in public office abroad, I remain committed to the dignity and advancement of our people. My appeal is made in respect, patriotism, and hope for a stronger, more inclusive Sierra Leone.

May God grant you wisdom and courage as you lead.

May God bless you, and may God bless Sierra Leone.

V/R,
Dr. Adama Bangura (Dr. Ada)

Remembering the late Reverend Jesse Jackson

Today we honor the life and legacy of Reverend Jesse Jackson, a towering voice for justice, equality, and human dignity.

From marching alongside Martin Luther King Jr. during the Civil Rights Movement to founding the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, Reverend Jackson dedicated his life to expanding opportunity for those pushed to the margins. He reminded America that civil rights are not a chapter of history, but an ongoing responsibility.

Through his presidential campaigns, he broadened the national conversation, giving hope to communities long excluded from the political process. He championed voting rights, economic justice, education access, and global human rights. His voice echoed a simple but powerful belief: that every person deserves dignity and a fair chance.

Reverend Jackson taught us that faith must move beyond the pulpit and into action. He stood boldly in moments of tension, spoke truth to power, and built coalitions across race, class, and party lines. His life reminds us that progress requires courage and that silence in the face of injustice is never an option.

As we reflect on his legacy, may we recommit ourselves to the unfinished work of justice. May we stand where he stood on the side of equality, compassion, and hope.

To those who do not know this story, the late Reverend Jackson was someone I admired as a young girl. Jesse Jackson once spoke of his history with civil war victims while I was at a Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. event as a student. Reverend Jackson informed us at the time of his involvement in international peace and humanitarian efforts. He stated that he met with political leaders and advocated for dialogue, reconciliation, and the protection of civilians during the war. Today, he has gone to be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Let us take solace in the fact that he passed away during .

Rest in power, Reverend Jesse Jackson. Your voice changed history, and your legacy will continue to inspire generations.

Press Release: Condemnation of the Arrest of the All People’s Congress (APC) Secretary General

The Adama Team Foundation (ATF) strongly condemns the recent arrest of the Secretary General of the All People’s Congress (APC) in Sierra Leone, an action that raises grave concerns about democratic governance, political freedoms, and the rule of law.

The arrest of a senior opposition leader for actions or statements connected to political expression sets a dangerous precedent and signals an alarming contraction of civic and political space. In democratic societies governed by constitutional principles, dissent, criticism, and political debate are not crimes; they are essential pillars of accountability and democratic legitimacy.

As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. powerfully reminded the world, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Political arrests, real or perceived, undermine justice, weaken democratic institutions, and erode public trust in governance.

This development risks undermining Sierra Leone’s obligations under regional and international human rights frameworks, including protections for freedom of expression, political participation, and due process. The apparent use of state security institutions in politically sensitive matters threatens national stability and the credibility of democratic institutions.

ATF calls on the Government of Sierra Leone to:
• Ensure the immediate protection of the constitutional and human rights of the APC Secretary General, including due process and fair treatment;
• Refrain from the criminalization of political expression and opposition activity;
• Uphold its commitments to democratic norms, pluralism, and the rule of law;
• Engage in constructive political dialogue that prioritizes peace, inclusion, and democratic accountability.

The freedom of opposition parties to organize, speak, and challenge power is non-negotiable in any democracy. As civil rights leader John Lewis affirmed, “Democracy is not a state. It is an act.” That act requires courage from citizens and restraint from those in power.

People must be free to express their voices without fear of arrest, intimidation, or retaliation. Silencing opposition voices weakens democracy; protecting them strengthens it.

We therefore urge international partners, diplomatic missions, regional bodies, and human rights institutions to closely monitor this situation and to engage the Government of Sierra Leone to ensure that democratic freedoms are respected and protected without discrimination.

Democracy cannot be sustained through intimidation or selective enforcement of the law. It is strengthened through tolerance of dissent, equal application of justice, and unwavering respect for fundamental rights.
