What Can Sierra Leone's Past Teach Us Today?

Sierra Leone’s past is full of lessons, but are we paying attention to the ones that matter for our future? In this episode of Honestly Speaking, Antonia Howard sits down with veteran educator Mrs. Cassandra Garber, whose decades of teaching and leadership give her a unique perspective on how far the country has come, what has been lost along the way, and what values we need to carry forward. The conversation reflects on how education shaped generations, the cultural values that once held communities together, and the shifts — both good and bad — that mark today’s Sierra Leone. Most importantly, it asks: what lessons from our past can help us build a stronger, more cohesive society going forward?
