MY STORY
It’s 2019, I am staring at my ceiling with an unclear path. I think to myself as I’m stranded in deep thought. Days turned into weeks and weeks into months misguided by an aging societal norm of succeeding by desperately clinging to a failed academic system.
Fast forward to 2022, the Anglophone crisis takes away the life of a 5-year-old child on her way back from school. As our taxi driver recounts the story, he laments showing us the weeping mother who fell on her feet holding her dead child to her chest coated with blood and dirt.
This incident sent fear down my spine as I lament about my previous events that faithful night. During such armed conflict I run each day for fear of being shot by a stray bullet.
Hungry to tell the story which is my story, I embark on a journey of self-growth and got better in story telling as I found it much more fulfilling. I, therefore, urge that deep desire for each and everyone to push forward and seek solutions for an end to the anglophone armed conflict like there is no tomorrow.
