I have been broken and it lead me to help rewrite the negative of others into positives.



I could not wait for 5pm at age 7.My late little brother and I would run to the corner waiting on mum to come from work. Soon we saw her we would run and hug her.Those moments I would play back over and over as it was one maybe only happiest moments we ever shared as a family.


Yes we grew up with a single mum that raised us single handedly until she got married when I was 9 years. Do you know everything fell apart for our intimate family since then. She moved away with her new husband leaving us alone and mourning her.

Nights alone I will speak to the darkness asking questions.I would sob in my cushion asking God why Lord.I could not understand who does this to get little children.

We went around stealing in shops to eat.You might be afkkng where was family,well they could not really be bothered with us.I won't lie and say we were obedient.We were not,our safe haven was removed from us.Wr became orphaned ,neglected and do much more.Bsck to the stealing,we were never caught. That's how we started to survive.I remember once we stole a tray of chicken and we put in the wardrobe,yeah right it got rotten and as a 9 and 7 year old then we were not aware of that smell.We were too happy just to have a meal to add.Rotten chicken tasted like manna from Heaven.

I was a bright student,A student but my condition affected me negatively.Going to school with holes in my shoes.I would place cardboard in ,it did not really help.No one noticed as it was shining on top.

Why all this you may ask.My experiences as a little child ,troubled teenager grew me up into a women with deep hurt and it left a mark off rejection on me I had to deal with for a very long time. The decisions of our parents and influences it has on our lives.My little brother started moving with the wrong crowd and St age 15 was stabbed and died.

So many setbacks have allowed me to grow and mature and with the help of God I want to help young girls and boys to rewrite the negative into positives.


I started a Foundation Ekaro World and we only 1 year old now. We have started visiting schools doing sanitary pads drive.Oh I forgot to tell you due to not having money as a teenager to buy pads I would cut my old t-shirts and use it as pads and once full I would wash it out.

We do meals on foot and encourage youth to complete education in order to break the back bone of their Generational issues.

Together we can do more .Let's help each other and mend the broken child.
