The air in the Nigerian home hums with a strict, quiet tension, broken by the clatter of daily life. Mum stirs a pot of okra soup and future, the steam rising thick. Dad crunches crisps, eyes glued to an African movie. In the background, 13-year-old twins Imani and Isaiah bob their heads to music, while 15-year-old Amira whispers sweet nothings to her boyfriend. Xavier sketches in the corner, and little Jay plays with toys, a snapshot of chaotic family life.
