I actually sewed my own wedding dress and I sewed my flower girl dresses.

Some people think that gender equality is the biggest issue on the table, and to me, that's a privilege to even think that that's the biggest issue, because I am subject to much more inequality.

In Nigeria, my grandma sold everything - everything - for my mum's education.

I am the product of two very strong women, my mum and my grandma, who prioritized education.

My grandma was raised in Ghana, and she went back there to work, so she could earn money for my mum's education in Nigeria. It's where it all began, and that dedication to education is the only reason I'm here.

My parents are professors. My sister is a Ph.D. student. My other sister has a business.
