I've worked in shoemaking from 1978 to 1986. I learned from my aunt and passed what I could on to 210 apprentices.
Apprentices come in nervous and leave proud. That's my favorite part. I try to remember everyone's name.

If I fixed something for you, I hope it's still holding.

What gifts mean to Nneka: I'd put gifts toward a new set of tools for the next apprentice.
