Happy Birthday, Ruth Perry! You made history as Liberia's first female head of state, stepping up fearlessly to guide your nation through the aftermath of the First Liberian Civil War. Your leadership brought healing and hope when Liberia needed it most—talk about a tough act to follow!Today we celebrate not just your political achievements but also your timeless ability to inspire smiles and laughter. May your birthday be filled with joy, cake, and perhaps fewer council meetings than usual! Here's wishing you another year as remarkable as you are—because let's face it, you're still chairwoman of our hearts!
