Ko te kaiarahi o te roopu whakaahua
I tipu ake ahau i roto i nga mahi toi e ako ana i te kanikani, i te whare tapere, i te tuhi, i te waiata, i puta i te kura tuarua moata i te 16, katahi ka haere ki te Whare Wananga o Texas Southern. I muri tata mai, ka tiimata ahau i taku umanga umanga i te tau 2010, e noho ana i Dubai me Iraq mo nga tau e rua e mahi ana i te umanga hinu me te hau.
I muri i te hokinga mai ki te kainga, me te hono ano ki taku hoa pai o te kura tuarua o te 15yrs, ka whakatau maua ki te wehe atu i te rohe hoa ka marenatia i te tau 2014. I haria maua e tana mahi ki Nigeria mo tetahi wa poto ka pau to maua wa ki te haere i te ao ki te toro atu ki Thailand, Vietnam. , S. Africa, Tanzania, Hungary me te maha o nga waahi o te Pakeha.
Koinei te wahi i timata ai taku whakaahua, timata mai i te whakaahua tiriti, ka mutu ko nga whakaahua o nga hoa me nga huihuinga i Lagos i noho ai matou i tera wa. I tino mau ahau i te bug photog me te whakatau ka hiahia ahau ki te mahi i runga i te waa-katoa ka hoki matou ki te kainga ki Texas.
Kei Richmond, TX, kei Richmond, TX matou e noho ana, a he kaitango whakaahua ngaio tonu ahau mai i te tau 2018. Tokorua a maua tamariki, ko Emerald (Emmie) & Jidenna (JJ), ko Finn, to matou kuri nui e whakaaro tonu ana he kurupae. Karekau au e mahi ana, he pai ki a matou te whakapau taima ki roto i te taiao ki te tirotiro i nga Paaka o te kawanatanga, me te noho ki te takutai.
Kua toru tau taku whanau e mahi ana ki nga Whanau Awhina Nga Whanau, ki te mahi whakaahua me te tohatoha kai ki nga whanau e mate ana. Ko taku harikoa ki te awhina i taku hoa tata a Quincy ki te tipu haere me te mahi nui atu i nga tangata o te hapori.

He tangata whakahīhī ahau nō Houston, i whānau mai, i whakatipuhia ki konei, ā, ka karanga tonu ahau ki a Houston ki te kāinga. Hei reanga tuatahi o Pahia/Pakistani Amerika, e whakahīhī ana ahau ki te kii atu i heke oku matua ki te United States i te tau 1973, ka whiwhi tohu paetahi, a ko Houston te wahi i noho angitu ai toku papa mo te 40 tau inaianei. I whakapuakihia e ia tana maioha mo te whai waahi i whakawhiwhia e te Whenua Whakaaetanga ki a ia me toku mama me matou e toru tamariki. Na tenei, ka kitea e au te hiahia ki te whakahoki ki te hapori i ora ai taku whanau.
I puta ahau i te kura tuarua mai i te Westbury Christian School i te tau 1999 ka haere ahau ki te Whare Wananga Kaiiriiri o Houston tae noa ki te tau 2003. HBU i tutaki ai ahau ki taku hoa aroha me te kaiwhakarewa o nga Whanau Awhina i nga Whanau, a Quincy Collins. I te whanautanga o taku tamahine a Alayna i te tau 2007, ka whakawhiwhia ahau ki te Kaiwhiwhi ki te Dean's List of Honor's i taku putanga i te Whare Wananga o Purdue me te 3.86 gpa. Na taku ara mahi i angitu ahau i roto i nga whakahaere whakahaere pakihi i roto i nga momo umanga, a kei te mahi ahau hei Kaiwhakahaere Kaupapa i tenei wa.
Ko nga Whanau Awhina i nga Whanau tetahi o nga whakahaere atawhai kua whakauruhia e matou ki roto i o maatau oranga, ka nui te honore me te whakaiti i a au hei Kaiarahi Tiima mo nga Ratonga Whanau. I te mea ko te mahi tahi me nga whanau e whiwhi ana, ka kite ahau i te tino mihi, nga roimata o te koa, me te tino whakamaaramatanga e whakapuakina ana e ratou, he tino utu nui. Ko nga hēkona katoa e whakapaua ana e ahau ki tenei whakahaere he utu nui. Ko te whakahoki ki nga whanau e raru ana ka whakakiia o matou wairua, a ka whakahīhī matou ki te mahi ki to matou hapori me nga Whanau Awhina i nga Whanau. Ka mihi au ki te hapori mo te oranga e arohaina ana e taku whanau, koinei te mea iti ka taea e au ki te whakapuaki i to matou mihi. E kore ahau e tae mai i tenei ra mena kaore tenei hapori.
