I kept thinking about what it means to grow up seeing history happen at home.

At Lagos Fashion Week, I found myself replaying the runway clips. Yes for the clothes, but also for the sound of the room cheering for the people who made them. And watching my Senegal host the Youth Olympic Games, I thought about the kids in Dakar who get to see the Olympic flame burn in their own city.

From Lagos to Dakar, I hope you can hear the pride in my voice. When one of us makes history, listen to how many voices it has.
