The Story...

The Everyday people series is a nostalgic collection capturing random life moments of people in my life.

Ade is the first child of his single mother who is barely around because she works as a hotel cleaner in the day and runs a fruit stand at night to make ends meet.

Thirteen-year-old Ade has had to grow up fast while supporting his mother and catering for his three younger siblings. Here, he’s caught staring into the distance, in a somewhat reflective state.
