God rest their souls, and sleep well, Mama and Papa. My journey began when I officially knew my father at age 12. I remember my first visit to him at his office at work. The first question he asked me was, what's your name? I answered Soibifaa (Soso) Sekibo Bob-Manuel. That was the highlight of my struggle. I am from Rivers State, Abonnema, in the southern part of Nigeria, Niger Delta. I later got to know my Dad as I visited his home from time to time. I lived with my Mum, who was a single parent. It was not easy being a single mother. We frequently moved from one house to another due to lack of funds. Now everything has changed; life has smiled upon us. I got a scholarship from Rivers State to study in Canada. I have a bachelor's degree, with a double major in Psychology and Environmental Studies from the University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Life is full of hope, and this has kept me growing and going through life. This brings me to this book of my experiences, thoughts and learnings as I unpack ideas, norms and structures. Storytelling has always been my passion, so to you, my reader and audience, I hope you find this piece exonerating as you dig deeper into your thoughts.view less
