Esther Maya Cole is the daughter of popular Sierra Leonean artiste and philanthropist, Joseph Gerald Adolphus Cole, better known as Daddy Saj. Her mother, Adiatu Jalloh also lives in the United States.

Esther’s love and enthusiasm for sports, gave her ability and skills set to be a role model and she’s one of the top for her school’s basketball team. Which is one of the reasons she was accepted to the Penn State University, Pennsylvania, where she will attend and also join the university’s basketball team.

Her dad, Daddy Saj, a renown Sierra Leonean artiste and humanitarian, is well known for his passion for education. Personally, he has ensured that he acquired quality education in the United States of America, up to a Masters Degree level, since he relocated to U.S in the early 2000s.
Since then, he has been supporting school kids in slum communities in his home country, Sierra Leone. His philanthropist works are visible in deprived communities in Freetown and other parts of the country. A year ago, he self funded the renovation of a dilapidated school in Lungi, in his drive to support access to quality education for the poor. Daddy Saj has also therefore sacrificed a lot to ensure that his kids have quality education.

As such, he has ensured his children acquired quality education, including Esther, who has now made it to a top University with an excellent performance in her highschool.
