We pick up Mehntay's story when her family had just left Guinea for Australia after 15 years of living as refugees. At this point the family had walked for two years to safety when the war initially began. Her mother was raising 6 children and then adopted 3 more children. Over the years they had lost track of Mehntay's father.
The story is a story of war, displacement, life as a refugee and immigration to a new country. It is a powerful story, which is told in two parts. Mehntay Ngwayah is originally from Liberia. Her story begins at 7 years old when her country disintegrated into civil war.
Mehntay now lives in Australia where she is a registered nurse. Her purpose is to empower others to impact. Therefore, she does this by mentoring. Mehntay is also the owner of a cleaning business that was specially created to employ women of immigrant backgrounds. She is married and has a beautiful daughter.
