Got married. Built our first house in Magodo.

My father did not believe I could afford it without a husband. He came around.

COVID paused the project. Started consulting on the side.

Two clients turned into seven. Quiet years are not always quiet.

My daughter started JSS1 the same year. Both of us in new uniforms.
