I didn’t have all the opportunities when I was growing up. I grew up with my mum. I lost my dad at a very young age so it was just my mum who took care of me and my other siblings.
I am the sixth in a family of eight. I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth; I had to do so many things to survive.
I assisted my mum in her buying and selling business. I sold so many things with my mum. I remember selling oranges and some other things with my mum.
I am proud to say it now because the story is different now. I hawked oranges and some other things, helping my mum and siblings to survive. I am always proud to say it because it was in the past and I can’t sell oranges now.
