We were once at the airport and everyone spotted a well known Zimbabwean singer. Some may say legend but depends on who you ask, either way it was a big deal. You could see that everyone knew who he was and wanted to say something but they were afraid or didn’t know how to do it. This included us, we were pretty excited. Of course I was 9–10 so I’m editorializing but he said stay here and see how it’s done 😂 and just like that he walked up to him, introduced himself and shook his hand.

When he came back we asked “What did you say?” and “What did he say?” And he’s like “I just introduced my self and told him in a fan of your music”. I was in awe because 9 year old me could never and still hadn’t figured out exactly how to talk to strangers but 30 something year old me learnt from the best and there are not many people that intimidate me, rightly or wrongly.
