"My parents did not have education so we were relatively poor. My mum is hard working; I saw her waking every morning at 3:00 a.m, to go to Shasha market to buy what she sells. My mum sold pepper and dry grocery. She went from Shasha market to Bodija market twice a week. I call her the lioness. She just believes in working hard and not asking anybody for money. How my father supported her was very encouraging. I grew up in a home where, doing the house chores, taking care of the kids was something my father was open to doing."
