Her words:

"I don't know where to begin because I have had a lot of experiences. Right from growing up to where I'm actually. I was in a family of seven siblings and the second girl. So, life was not that rosy. My mum was the breadwinner of everything when we were very small. My dad was nowhere to be found at that time. We used to go to the farm to till the grass for us to eat. As time goes one, my mum said she won't be able to cater for my fees when I was done with my primary school exam. She was like I should go and stay with my uncle that they will help further my education from secondary to university level. Life with my uncle was not that easy, I went through hell. They started using me for housemaid, doing all the house chores. Sometimes, I go to school hungry. They don't give me food and they don't buy me clothes."
