I was born in Cairo, Egypt.
My mum is from the Philippines and my dad from Ghana.
I’m an Israeli
At the age 6, we moved to Israel. we lived in Jaffa, surrounded by Jews, Arabs and other international kids from my school.
In 2006, for just one month, the ministry of interior set a law: All kids that came before the age of 10 and were living in Israel for over 10 years, could get a citizenship.
I was a perfect match!
After years of living in fear, hiding from everyone, i could finally SETTLE DOWN, walk the streets with confidence, create myself a real home.
