Her voice, thin as a bird’s, sung out lyrics of sweat and toil. She was my alarm clock every morning, and the source of my day’s strength. Her Agege bread was divinely satisfying.
I once asked her, “Aunty Tawa, wetin make you for dey sell bread?”

I later found out that she was a highschool dropout who was doing what it took to make ends meet for her family.
I recently bumped into Aunty Tawa last week. She had grown older over the years, more wrinkles on her face and less bread on her head. She now owns a bakery.
