Anyekon (meaning, we on it) comprises popular pre-war dramatic groups such as Malawala Balawala, Flomo Theatre and Aurora Productions of the USA. It is led by Mr. Kekura M. Kamara, a comedian and former television newscaster. The colorful ceremony was tied to the launching of an endowment fund drive geared towards seeking the welfare of local performing artists. "Ma Gbessay" as she is affectionately called, happens to be the first beneficiary with the construction of a residential home underway to replace her first house burnt by rebels during the country's seven year civil war. Thanks to God for the farsightedness of a Liberian Journalist/Actor Kekura Kamara. This aging top cultural performing artist described by reporters attending the occasion as "Liberian cultural godmother", is the first known legend to receive such honors at an elaborate ceremony in the capital during our time.
