Naomba kuwasilisha kazi yangu kwa ajili ya mashindano ya 'Stories of Change'. Hadithi hii imejengwa kwenye msingi wa matumaini, mapambano na ubunifu wa vijana wa Tanzania.

“They called me mad because I asked too many questions. But madness, I learned, is just brilliance misunderstood by a lazy world.”

PART 1: Born in the Dust
I was born where dust never settles, where dreams die young and genius is a burden. My mother was a hawker of roasted maize. My father? A man swallowed by silence—he walked out one morning and never came back.

I didn’t cry. I observed. I questioned.
At five, I dismantled a broken radio to find the music.
At seven, I connected wires to a battery and made my first homemade bulb.
At nine, I asked my teacher why the sun doesn't burn the sky if it's fire.
She slapped me.

They said I asked too much.
But Albert Einstein once said: "The important thing is not to stop questioning."
