"I’d go to the dumpsite with my friend to look for them. We’d see Nike left and Adidas right and try to combine everything together. I lived in a really poor neighbourhood and in our street, my family is one of the poorest. Sometimes the landlord would come to harass my dad and sisters for rent and I’d go around the corner to cry and pray to God to help me."
