Master of shoemaking, now teaching apprentices

- English, Yoruba, French
I've worked in shoemaking since 2003. I learned from my mother and passed what I could on to 850 apprentices.
The best compliment I ever got was a customer who called me back 23 years later for another job.
I never expected anything in return, but a kind word always makes my day.
