Abebi, a Nigerian woman, was interviewed about her experiences growing up in Nigeria and adjusting to life in the United States. In Nigeria, she was identified by her name rather than skin color, but in the US she had to navigate racism and was identified by her skin color. Growing up in Nigeria, she helped her mother with household tasks according to tradition. Corruption is a major challenge in Nigeria, including in the education system, where some had to pay bribes. Abebi is proud of Nigeria's national language of English, which promotes unity, and holds religious beliefs that influence her clothing and diet choices as a Muslim woman.
