Poor background shaped my mindset− ex-Havard Law student, Ogedegbe
What was childhood like for you?
My mum, at the time, used to hawk food across the street, and we, her children, would wake up very early to help her cook. Hence, it was very difficult. There were times when my mum would tell me and my siblings to go to the village to help our grandmother, which was not unusual, because there were other kids subjected to that treatment in that environment. However, the part of Benin City I grew up is one of the worst places to grow up in.
Also, I would love to be known as an educator, because at some point, I would love to go back to academia to teach. I am very passionate about impact within certain demographics, especially those from underprivileged backgrounds, and demonstrate to them the acute power of the mind, and the transformative power of imagination.What does success mean to you?
