Kiongozi wa timu ya upigaji picha
Nililelewa katika sanaa nikijifunza dansi, ukumbi wa michezo, kuchora, na muziki, nilihitimu shule ya upili mapema nikiwa na umri wa miaka 16, kisha nikaendelea na Chuo Kikuu cha Texas Kusini. Muda mfupi baadaye, nilianza kazi yangu ya ushirika mnamo 2010, nikiishi Dubai na Iraqi kwa miaka kadhaa nikifanya kazi katika tasnia ya Mafuta na Gesi.
Baada ya kurudi nyumbani, na kuungana tena na mpenzi wangu wa shule ya upili wa 15yrs, tuliamua kuachana na eneo la marafiki na tukafunga ndoa mnamo 2014. Kazi yake ilitupeleka Nigeria kwa muda na tulitumia wakati wetu wa kupumzika kusafiri ulimwengu kutembelea Thailand, Vietnam. , S. Afrika, Tanzania, Hungaria na maeneo kadhaa ya Ulaya.
Hapa ndipo nilipoanza upigaji picha, nikianza na upigaji picha wa mitaani, kisha hatimaye picha za marafiki na matukio huko Lagos tulikoishi wakati huo. Hakika nilinasa hitilafu ya photog na niliamua nilitaka kuifanya kwa muda wote tuliporudi nyumbani Texas.
Sasa tunaishi Richmond, TX na nimekuwa mpiga picha mtaalamu wa muda wote tangu 2018. Tuna watoto wawili, Emerald (Emmie) & Jidenna (JJ), na Finn, mbwa wetu mkubwa ambaye bado anafikiri kuwa yeye ni mbwa. Ninapokuwa sifanyi kazi, tunapenda kutumia muda katika mazingira ya asili kuvinjari Mbuga za Serikali, na kustarehe ufukweni.
Familia yangu imejihusisha na Families Helping Families kwa miaka mitatu sasa, kupiga picha na pia kusambaza milo kwa familia zinazohitaji. Imekuwa furaha yangu kumsaidia jirani yangu Quincy kuendelea kukua na kuhudumia watu wengi zaidi katika jamii.

Mimi ni Houstonian fahari, nilizaliwa na kukulia hapa na ninaendelea kuita Houston nyumbani. Kama kizazi cha kwanza cha Kiajemi/Mpakistani wa Marekani, ninajivunia kusema wazazi wangu walihamia Marekani mwaka wa 1973, na kupata digrii zao za shahada, na Houston ndipo baba yangu alikua mmiliki mzuri wa biashara kwa miaka 40 sasa. Alishiriki shukrani zake kwa nafasi ambayo Nchi ya Fursa ilimpatia mama yangu na sisi watoto 3. Kwa sababu hii, ninapata hitaji la kurudisha kwa jamii ambayo iliipa familia yangu uhai.
Nilihitimu shule ya upili kutoka Shule ya Kikristo ya Westbury mwaka wa 1999 na nikahudhuria Chuo Kikuu cha Houston Baptist hadi 2003. HBU ambapo nilikutana na rafiki yangu mpendwa na mwanzilishi wa Families Helping Families, Quincy Collins. Baada ya kupata binti yangu Alayna mwaka wa 2007, niliendelea kutunukiwa orodha ya Dean ya mpokeaji wa Heshima nilipohitimu fomu ya Chuo Kikuu cha Purdue na gpa 3.86. Njia yangu ya kikazi ilinipelekea kufaulu katika usimamizi wa shughuli za biashara katika tasnia mbalimbali, na kwa sasa ninatumika kama Meneja Mradi.
Familia Zinazosaidia Familia ni moja wapo ya mashirika ya kutoa misaada ambayo tumekubali katika maisha yetu, na nimeheshimiwa na kunyenyekea kuwa Kiongozi wa Timu ya Huduma za Familia. Kwa kuwa na maingiliano ya moja kwa moja na familia zinazopokea, ninahisi na kuona shukrani ya kweli, machozi ya furaha, na ahueni kamili wanayoeleza, na ni ya thamani sana. Kila sekunde ninayotumia na shirika hili inafaa. Kurejesha familia zinazotatizika hujaza roho zetu, na tutatumikia jumuiya yetu kwa fahari na Familia Zinazosaidia Familia. Ninashukuru jumuiya kwa kutoa maisha ambayo familia yangu inathamini, na hili ndilo jambo dogo zaidi ninaloweza kufanya ili kutoa shukrani zetu. Nisingekuwa hapa leo kama isingekuwa jumuiya hii.
