SAWA

My journey began in Nigeria.

Lagos, the city that never sleeps. The clubs where money dances through the air, women who shimmer like fireworks, men who wear sunglasses after the sun has gone. Here, I learned that power and illusion often share the same mask — and that the feeling of family can reveal itself in the most unexpected corners. It is a city alive with rhythm — vibrant, crowded, unapologetically loud. Each day brings a story that keeps you on the edge of your seat and your eyes wide open. The scent of rain on hot pavement, the sunlight wrapping itself around you like a hug. Africa, the place where I felt at home. In the chaos of its streets and the quiet of a single glance that says more than words ever could. Where the nights feel endless, and one conversation can linger in your mind for weeks.

And then, suddenly, there is the magic of one unexpected encounter — an encounter I never saw coming, yet one that made my heart beat faster. This is not a classic love story. It is an ode to the people who cross our paths and to those fleeting moments that make us feel profoundly alive, the only way to honour them is to turn experiences into a book.
