    “Jehovah ebuliwo m elu elu higher higher, ebuliwo m elu elu higher higher” are the lyrics to one of my favorite Igbo Christian gospels my family sings during prayer.

Through that and my parents impute, I continue to learn to look at the world more openly with a more optimistic stance and to be independent and self-determined.…
