"I am comfortable with themselves, I’m very comfortable with myself, it is ok not to be where you want to be, there is always room for growth, we are a great team."

Ms. Christina Voynee
 
Ms. Voynee is youngest of the cast, 28.  Many years ago, she  hosted a youtube series called "Richard and Christen." She also hosted a show on Radio Docur.  "I tried to be genuine, that’s the take I have on things, I am a mother, sister, daughter, friend, I enjoy the company people. I already knew who Jewell was, when I met the rest of the ladies, I felt in love with them.  I hope that we become  icons." Ms. Voynee is the animated personality on the show, she make serious situations turn silly, really quick.
 
"How Long Should An Engagement Last," is the fist episode of The Spot
 
 
In the next five years, the ladies hope to be live on TV.  "We don’t think that Liberia has been properly represented, people don’t know about our culture, we are going to represent our culture," Racheal Barway.
