I dedicate this to my grandparents Abraham and Jeanine YAMBUYA. Thank you for the lessons and wisdom. I may have lost my way but the foundation you instilled in me brought me back on the righteous path. You showed me the importance of living with love, having discipline and being of service to the community.

In today's society, It's so easy for us to become stuck in a cycle of pain like I was in the past. When you grow up in similar neighbourhoods or environments, you’ll know the many risks and challenges that one can face. When things are not addressed throughout childhood, it manifests into unresolved trauma in adulthood.

Growing up in these kinds of environments can create a void in adult life. Sometimes we become victims of our circumstances and try to avoid or numb the pain. Instead we must realise that the earlier you address the pains of life, the greater chance you give yourself to defeat negativity and overcome physical, mental and emotional pain.
