“It took a whole summer of convincing, but I finally caved in. Anyways, she arrives, bright and bubbly eager to take on new territory and blossom, which she did.
“Within months of arriving she vied for and won a position on the student’s Council. That’s not allowed. “You cannot just arrive here and begin to “shine” without “permission”.
“Oh, the bullying was aggressive! And most of the time, she would beg me not to step in, determined to make her way.

“Anyways Mrs Wellington heard about the goings-on and said “Auntie, I’m going to go pick Jem up from school one day”… I said OK.
On the said day, she asked me to sit in the car. It took longer than usual.
“@adesuaetomi didn’t just “pick” her from schl…she took her time to stroll around the school compound with her arm around Jemiyo, waving at the students who had become dumbstruck.
“The message was clear: “This is my Beloved, thou shall not touch”. Suffice to say the bullying died down significantly from that day – true star power.”
