where you start matters; for real.

i come from love. i come from God. i come from compassion. i come from faith. i come from gratitude. i come from togetherness. i come from wisdom. i come from Nigeria. i come from England. i come from America. i come from the pursuit of excellence. i come from loyalty. i come from struggle. i come from heart. i come from patience. i come from joy. i come from understanding. i come from strength. i come from forgiveness. i come from support. i come from shared dreams. i come from vision. i come from black consciousness. i come from British colonialism. i come from transatlantic slave trade. i come from focus. i come from peace. i come from LOVE. i am my FAMILY. they are me.

this is me with my mom, dad, and brother, celebrating my 25th birthday
