When she began her search, she never imagined what she would discover or where that information would lead her: she was related to African royalty, a ruling Mende family in Sierra Leone and that she is considered a \u003ci\u003emahaloi, \u003c\/i\u003ethe child of a Paramount Chief, with the status like a princess.
