Today, I signed out, after 4 beautiful years + with UNICEF supporting the NPHCDA. It was a very enriching experience. One that I’ll cherish for the rest of my life. We did amazing stuff. From Polio eradication to responding to COVID-19. (I’ll be sharing my experience soon).

Dear Twitter, I said I will make a thread. So I will. In 2018, I was contacted to work as the graphic designer for the 'Living in Bondage' movie. I was very excited as I had never been on a big project like that before hence I knew nothing and did nothing related to paperwork.
