Beatrice Ziaty Character Analysis

The mother of the three Ziaty boys: Darlington, Mandela, and Jeremiah. Beatrice escaped the Liberian civil war with three of her sons after watching her husband be murdered by rebel soldiers. In America, Beatrice supports her sons by working long shifts at a hotel in Atlanta. One evening coming home from work, she is mugged, robbing her of a sense of security in her new home. She then instructs the boys to remain in their apartment after they get home from school. But when Jeremiah asks to join the Fugees, Luma convinces Beatrice that he will be well-looked after. Eventually, Beatrice comes to think of Luma like a sister because she is so involved in raising all three of her sons.
