A little background

I wish i could start my story with “once upon a time, there lived a princess in a big castle…”. Hey! I am a princess, no, a queen, but that is not where the story starts.

I am Congolese by blood, born in Lagos, Nigeria. I grew up mainly with my mother. My parents were never married. My dad left Nigeria long before I could even walk. I do not think he´s even in my first birthday pictures. He left in search of greener pastures I guess only that I did not really get to enjoy that, at least at first. I grew up with my mum, lots of aunties and uncles and loving grandparents. I remember my childhood to be fun.
