HPOTW: Congratulations To The Star of The Week, Maryam Sesay of Sierra Leone

Maryam Sesay is a proud Sierra Leonean. She was born in Sierra Leone to a well respected and devoted Muslim family. At a very young age, she and her family relocated to the United States where she and her other siblings were raised. She is the eldest of five beautiful sisters.

Ms. Sesay is the typical people's person you can imagine when it comes to managing people. She loves people, enjoys helping them - a quality that has earned her many career opportunities as well as her present job as a Director of a Residential Treatment Program.

She holds a master's degree in Health Administration from California State University and she sees herself directing a Long Term Care (LTC) facility in the future.

Maryam's photo is so chic. Lovely hat, long straight hair and a beautiful blue jean jacket over what looks like a chiffon dress or top. I love this photo because it says "sometimes you don't need make up or an expensive jewelry to take a great photograph." Rather than focusing on make up, she chose to go dare us with this no make up concept. She did emphasize more on her clothes though, but in a very simply way. The windy beach environment also adds to the originality of the image.

Sesay loves being around her family, she enjoys dancing and socializing. In the next five years, she hopes to settle down, get married and be blessed with two children.

She speaks Creole, Arabic and English fluently.
