During the lockdown, I started making chinchin just to keep things going, little did I know it would become a lifeline for me and my family. That small work sustained us in one of the toughest times.
When the lockdown was eased a bit, I had a conversation with my amazing aunty; Aunty Nne Obi (God bless her heart), and she supported me with ₦50,000. That money felt like a million naira to me back then 
I took it straight to the market and was able to buy a bag of flour, half bag of sugar, a carton of margarine, a pack of evaporated milk, and 25 liters of vegetable oil. Thinking back now, I can't believe I got all of that with just 50k, It is well with Nigeria oo. But I was so grateful.

But I was so grateful.With those ingredients, I was able to produce more chinchin and even started packaging it better. That’s when I began to see the business take shape.
Fast forward to October, when schools reopened and we were called back. I moved to a new location, and everything kind of paused. The transition was overwhelming, and I had to take a step back from the business for a while.
