NO FEAR: At 78, she Fears only God-and says it Without Apology

For revolutions, civil unrest, and the unforgiving pressures of public life over a career spanning five decades, Miatta Fahnbulleh has developed a psychological fortress that makes her virtually immune to fear. Standing comfortably in her late seventies, she carries an unshakeable poise that leaves no room for intimidation by political leaders, media figures, or societal disapproval.

When Kafui Dey probed into her worldview and asked what keeps her grounded in an unpredictable world, Miatta offered a masterclass in spiritual conviction. She explained that human fear is largely a self-imposed prison created by overvaluing the opinions and powers of fellow mortals who are just as fragile and temporary as anyone else.

For Miatta, fear is a sacred reverence reserved exclusively for the Creator of the universe. By surrendering her heart entirely to God, she has liberated herself from the anxiety of pleasing human beings or trembling before worldly authority.

"At this stage in my life, after everything my eyes have seen and everything I have walked through, I don't have time to fear human beings," Miatta Fahnbulleh declared with absolute certainty "Why should I fear a man who breathes the same air I breathe?" "I fear only God. Only Him," Miatta disclosed without apology.

"When you carry the fear of God in your heart, you walk upright, you speak your truth, and you don't bow to anyone else. That is the freedom of turning 78."

This total absence of fear has defined her entire life as an activist, singer, and public intellectual.

Whether speaking truth to political regimes in Liberia, advocating for women's rights across West Africa, or taking unconventional stands in public broadcasts, Miatta walks with the quiet dignity of a woman who knows her ultimate accountability lies with God alone.
