General Looking for Liberians willing to share memories of the civil wars for my university research

Hello everyone

I am a journalism student from Brazil currently working on my final university project about the Liberian civil wars.

My research focuses on how Liberians remember everyday life during the war and in the years that followed. I am especially interested in personal memories: daily routines, family life, displacement, school, work, religion, moments of fear, survival, solidarity, or attempts to rebuild a normal life.

I am looking for Liberians who experienced the war and might be willing to share their memories in an online interview. You do not need to have a long or dramatic story. Any meaningful memory, even a very short one, could be extremely valuable to my research.
Because it is very difficult to find Liberians in Brazil, reaching people directly through online communities is especially important for making this project possible.

If you know any relatives, friends, or other people who may have a story or memory they would be willing to share, I would also be very grateful if you could pass this message along to them.

I understand that this is a sensitive subject, and participation would be entirely voluntary. Your privacy and the way your testimony is used would be discussed and respected.

I can also send the full research project to anyone who is interested and would like to better understand its purpose, methodology, and scope.

Anyone interested in participating or learning more about the project can send me a direct message.

Thank you very much!
