‘I am never alone’
KEYEMO, AGED 8 | London, United Kingdom | Global | Nigeria
My family name means peace and this puts me at ease
I was born to experience the world, explore and always be bold
My family is big so I am never alone
As a child my Dad used to climb trees and lived his life carefree
He tells me tales of growing up in Nigeria and his family home
“When I was 8 I travelled alone”….so Daddy “Can I travel alone?”
His answer is No!
When I am older, I will see the world and the world will see me
I know that wherever I go I am never alone!
Keyemo
Age 8
