Country music has always been our go-to playlist for long road trips, so as we cruised down East-West Road, we sang our hearts out to the tunes of Don Williams and Josh Turner. Our destination was Benin, where I had to defend my project. We started the journey with Jay-Z playing in the background, but the gloomy sky and pouring rain made it difficult to see the road ahead. When Jay-Z's lyrics filled the car, proclaiming, "All I need in this life of sin, is me and my girlfriend," I echoed with all my heart, "down the ride till the very end, it's me and my boyfriend." In that moment, I realized there was no one else I would rather embark on this trip with than my best friend, Akugbe.

I’ve never been one to stare at people. Not only did I find it awkward, I grew up fitting into the shell of disappointments, heartbreaks and missed opportunities. As confident and as proud as most people saw me, inside I was just a little girl who sought validation from whomever and would accept what crumbs were thrown my way like a dog who had not found purpose.
