LAGOS- NIGERIA @12 Noon, Wednesday 27th November 2019: Photo-Story – Yesterday (Tuesday, 26th November 2019), I took my girls (13 and 10 years old) out to lunch – picked them up from school with a change of clothes.\u00a0The ten photos below describe how we spent our day.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

By way of interest, the 13 year old recently got selected by the school administration to represent them in a Hair-styling Competition where she will also teach other kids.<\/p>\n

The girl has been excited – understandably.\u00a0She came to tell me 2 days ago, asking for money to buy the attachments and other stuff she’s been told will be required at the event.<\/p>\n

I’m super excited too, because I know this opportunity will cement their interest in the vocation.<\/p>\n

It all seems like yesterday, but they’ve actually been apprenticing now for over 2 years,\u00a0starting back in 2017, when they attended a 2 week long intensive Vocational Skills Training on Cosmetic Make Up and Gele Tying<\/a>, after which they chose to have me enroll them for hair-styling training at Mushin.<\/p>\n

Graduation Day at the 2 week Cosmetic Makeup and Gele Tying Workshop [Re: Empower Your Daughter to be Her Own Boss With Minimal Resources Via Vocation She Can Build on to Excel]<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

A year later they enrolled to apprentice at another stylist’s shop closer home.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The rest is history – as they are now competent doing various styles – and take turns to work on each others hair to do whatever hairstyle their school announce for each week<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Their boss recently told me the older girl is now able to take on paying customers without supervision.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

No. 1 of 10:<\/h3>\n

Here we were getting close to our destination, then I remembered I wanted photos of them wearing these African prints I bought for them on Victoria Island,on my way to the Immigration (Passport) Office at Ikoyi.<\/em><\/p>\n

Selfie at the same landmark as in Photo 1 of 10. They still did not know where I was taking them. A busy school day had them looking a bit tired. By the time we got to our destination, they came alive…and I teased them about it…LOL!<\/p>\n
