This is who i am yes its where i come from deep from the ghetto. Where we played with the running sewers like it was a fresh stream of water.

We were happy at the time nothing seemed impossible for us we could play and hop all day long challenging each other on who could jump the furthest. We played the infamous “three sticks” game with the tallest playing as the extender. All day long we’d make fun and crack jokes. Till the sun went down.

We never got sick No! We were always healthy, though we ate our french fries which we knew best as “chipo mwitu”with dirty stricken hands nature always had a way of taking care of us. I still remember we we’re three of us and our parents lived in close proximity. They were so close that borrowing salt and match boxes was a normal everyday…
