"In one’s life, certain events have such a transformative impact that they literally alter the individual’s anticipated or imagined trajectory."
"For me it was the untimely passing of my beloved mom at a young age of 47; I was only 24 and felt gipped. This personal loss was so deep that even with the passage of time, I had not come to terms with it; to use a modern-day expression, I needed some kind of closure with the knowledge that my mom would never ever leave my heart and my very being. To say that I still deeply miss her would truly be a gross understatement."
"So, in 2009 – 36 years after my mom’s passing – I decided to return to Tanga, Tanzania where I lived and grew up for 19 years."
