She started a clothing line and boutique in 2013 called Mango Rags, and then the Ebola outbreak occurred. She left Liberia, but after returning, her new company, The Bombchel Factory, is becoming a place that fosters a supportive new community for Ebola survivors and edgy fashion that challenges convention.
