The Global Face of Liberia at 178

As Liberia celebrates its 178th Independence Anniversary, the nation pauses to honor not just its past but the individuals shaping its future.

Among these trailblazers is Ambassador Linda Karim Creevey, a woman whose work across continents has placed her at the heart of Liberia’s global transformation.

The Federation of Global Diplomacy proudly features her as the Face of Liberia at 178, and it’s easy to see why.

From the halls of diplomacy to the heart of humanitarian service, Ambassador Creevey has dedicated her life to championing the marginalized, promoting women’s leadership, and connecting Liberia to dynamic opportunities across Asia, Australia, and beyond.

Beyond boardrooms and embassies, Linda’s passion lies in people. As the Ambassador for I Change Nations in Liberia, she has used her platform to promote peacebuilding, ethical leadership, and human dignity. Her work continues to inspire a culture of service and social accountability across the country.

Her humanitarian leadership is further amplified in her role as Brand Ambassador of the JNB Foundation, the official charity of His Excellency President Joseph Nyuma Boakai.

Here, Linda leads advocacy and programs that combat poverty, elevate youth, empower women, and expand access to education. She has become a voice for Liberia’s most vulnerable working to ensure that opportunity is not a privilege, but a right.

Global Roots, Local Impact:

Born in Indonesia and raised in Australia, Linda’s journey gives her a unique lens through which she views the world and her commitment to Liberia.

She understands what it means to migrate, to adapt, and to rise. It is that lived experience that fuels her mission to uplift the disadvantaged.

In Australia, she founded the Migrant Women Achievement Award (Northern Territory) and launched the Women in Red program, both designed to celebrate and elevate the resilience of women.

Her leadership as Chairperson of the Australian Indonesian Business Council (NT) further demonstrates her skill in bridging cultures, economies, and communities.

Today, as a Rare Birds Ambassador, she continues to mentor and support women entrepreneurs, equipping them with the tools to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
