How we began

We met in April 2018 at Ashesi. Joel was walking to the car park with a mutual friend when they came across Sagua, seated nearby and stressing about something -- an activity that, those who know her would agree, remains one of her favourite pastimes.

One introduction turned into an hour-long conversation. Then another. Before long, these talks became a regular occurrence. There was just one problem: Joel never asked for Sagua's number. So, growing gloriously impatient, she simply got his herself.

Nearly eight years later, she still insists this decisive act deserves full credit for the entire relationship.
