According to her, she was from a poor background and faced numerous challenges whiles growing up.
“I’m a poor man’s child. I’m a shoemaker’s daughter and I used to be a hawker. My mother used to sell thrift clothes, I move from one village to another to sell them. I even sold ice water and ice-kenkey.
“When I close from school, I used to peddle oranges’ and I’ve sold a lot of things. We used to live in a single room” she said.
She added, “My parents gave birth to nine children, and I was the second born. I’ve really suffered but I’m not a lazy woman. I worked so hard to get to where I am today.”
