What is your earliest memory?
18 months ago
March 12, 1985 The day my little brother, Ade was born. The air at home was so blissful, Dad stayed up late ( i loved sleeping in my Dad's bed) at night thinking up names before finally coining it down to Majiyagbe Sijuade Adeoye Leslie. I swear i can still see the A4 paper he had different possible names scribbled in, in his perfect cursive handwriting in my head.

1994 I jumped off the my bed headboard and all and tripped over a metal bucket with boiling water in it at the head of the bed. I fractured and dislocated my left elbow. It was so painful. The series of surgical procedures and physiotherapy that ensued were equally as painful..sob.

1995
It was Helen Baylor's can't remember the title but it had Oasis in it.
Shortly afterwards came Bebe and Cece's self titled album as well as Jaci velasquez's Heavenly place. They are the reason i fell in love with Contemporary gospel music.

We are such a close knit family that makes it hard to say.
But when Dad died there was this sudden unspoken reassurance that we will always have each other

When has someone helped you when you've needed it most?
18 months ago
February 2010 Aisha Ismail, is one of the kindest hearted person i know, after a trip to South Africa, i came home broke and when she heard about it she emptied her DKNY purse of every dime to support me. I was crying because i had to go report at my National youth service post the next day and everyone i knew just gave me excuses. It felt like a million dollars, aee.
