So I'm at Harvard, undergrad, I think is like, you know, end of my software year.

And I'm taking this course called Idea Translation, affecting change to art and science.

That's Jessica O. Matthews and this class was back in 2008.

And I had heard from people that they gave you some money to do some cool stuff and that

unlike most universities, they wouldn't own the cool thing that you did.

And I was like, okay, I like doing cool stuff.

I got like inventing, let's see what happens.

Like we should say you were not remotely, you were not an engineer or an engineer wannabe.

I was, well, I was studying psychology in economics.

Like so I grew up wanting to be inventor.

You know, my father is a businessman, my sister who had been in Harvard for two years before

me.

She actually was studying film.

And but she told my dad, my Nigerian dad, that she was studying economics.

I don't blame her.

So two years passes and she graduates and my, they hear, oh, visual and environmental studies.

And my dad has almost has a heart attack in like the graduation stadium.

And so I'm sitting there just like, all right, dad, all right, dad, all right economics.

So anyway, yes.

So taking this course and I remembered thinking back to when I was 17, when I was in Nigeria

and I was at my aunt's wedding.

And as expected, we lost power.
