Episode 7: Behind the Big Black Gate

After my father died, we moved into a big house as caretakers. From the outside, people thought I came from a rich family, the tall black gates, the large compound, the good school uniform.

But behind those gates, my reality was very different.

In this episode, I share the story of childhood bullying, silent fear, and what it felt like to carry pain that nobody else could see.

Episode 6: The Only Time I Belonged

In this episode, I take you back to primary school, to a small classroom downstairs where four children shared biscuits, coloured drinks in bottle cups, and laughter around one table.

It was the first time I ever felt included.
The first time I felt seen.

From subtle bullying and broken projects to a friendship that felt like home, this is a story about belonging, loss, and the kind of childhood moments that quietly shape us.

Because sometimes, the greatest gift of a season isn’t that it lasted, it’s that it showed you what was possible.

In this episode, I share memories from primary school, from walking to school in wet clothes at seven years old, to sitting alone during break time with five biscuits and watered-down juice.

I truly believed that if I stayed quiet, behaved well, and tried hard enough, I would be safe.

But no matter what I did, something always found me.

This is a story about silence, shame, and the quiet ways a child learns to shrink just to survive.
