Before we became anything, we were just children trying to survive. Taye and Kehinde are twins growing up in a modest Nigerian home under the care of their mother, Iya Ejì—a woman whose love is fierce, her discipline unwavering, and her sacrifices unseen by the world. Between early mornings, endless chores, and the weight of spiritual battles she cannot share, she fights to give her children what life has denied her. Kehinde, the ever-cheerful twin, works before dawn, braving farms, petty jobs, and danger, so that Taye can dream. Taye, stubborn and spirited, learns that ambition isn’t only about personal achievement, it’s about carrying the hopes and sacrifices of those who came before her. From childhood mischief to the pressures of higher education, Before We Became Anything is a moving tale of family, faith, and the quiet heroism of everyday life. It is the story of growing up, loving fiercely, and learning that becoming “something” often starts with enduring the weight of love, struggle, and sacrifice. A tribute to the unsung heroes mothers, siblings, and the children who dare to dream despite it all.
