Thanks to help from other Facebook users, Atlanta content creator Queen Soulara Kadija Tall managed to track her father down in Guinea and eventually established contact with him after 27 years.
During her childhood, Queen Kadija, 27, never made mention of her father’s whereabouts while she and her two sisters were under the care of her now-estranged mother, SWNS reported, per The New York Post.
“When the topic came up about my dad, it was always shut down,” she recalled. “It was always normal for me to have one parent. When you have one parent growing up, you don’t question that as a child.”
RELATED STORIES
Queen Kadija ultimately gained some crucial information about her father in July 2025 when she saw the name Mountaga Tall on her birth certificate after taking a look at the document. She then underwent a DNA test that indicated she was of Guinean ancestry.
Queen Kadija subsequently reached out for help in tracing her father on Facebook, with the “Search Angels” volunteer group ultimately obtaining his last known address, which was Atlanta. She and her partner went to the said address, but her father wasn’t at the location.
Since the address wasn’t also recent, Queen Kadija then reached out to a different Facebook group by the name “The Girl Code Atlanta.” There was a breakthrough with that, as an individual claiming to be Queen Soulara’s cousin saw the post.
The 27-year-old was ultimately informed that her father was in Guinea, as he was deported to his native country when she was just four years old. Prior to his deportation, Mountaga Tall was residing in New Hampshire, SWNS reported.

Queen Kadija eventually established contact with two of her cousins, and they gave her number to her father after explaining how they had a relationship with him. Mountaga Tall eventually reunited with his daughter after 27 years when he called her on July 30, 2025.
“When I spoke to my dad for the first time, I was in disbelief. I couldn’t believe it. I have not had a dad my whole life; my dad has been so supportive this past couple of months,” she stated.
“To have him as a parent now, I am like, wow, thank god. Whenever I asked my mom about my dad, she shut me down. It got to the point where I realized that my mom was never going to give me answers, and I needed to find them out for myself.”
Queen Kadija also revealed that she was “instantly crying” when she answered her father’s call. “He answered the phone with ‘Kadija, thank god, I have prayed for this,’” she recalled.
“He was telling me a lot about my mom, my sisters and the nicknames of my older sisters who were adopted as children. I was so depressed as a child, and once even tried to end my life, but during this phone call, I was so happy that I lived to experience this. Not a day goes by that I don’t speak to him.”
Queen Kadija said she intends to travel to Guinea to meet her father. “I was in my car when Kadija’s cousin called me and said he thinks he found Kadija,” Mountaga Tall recalled.
“When I saw her photo, I knew that was my baby. Thank god, I thought. I prayed every day and knew my daughter would find me one day.”
