Her story recounts her tribulations with antiquated customs and traditions of her people that resulted in self-exile to the United States with her husband and son. In the States, her family faced a new kind of affliction after her husband was incarcerated in the federal penitentiary. Her life changed drastically thereafter as she decided to build a business to avail her childhood dreams and constitute herself into a philanthropist of sorts and a self-acclaimed advocate for the downtrodden. In her last mission to her home country in furtherance of her philanthropy and advocacy for women and children and to speak out against moribund traditional beliefs and atrocious cultural practices that included female circumcision, she was inadvertently gunned down by armed robbers. Even though she left a legacy of selflessness, benefaction, and hope, she still spent her time at the level of consciousness for rebirth, wondering if she did enough and if she ought to return to do some more. Her story and the writers take makes an incursion into life and its connection to and with the supernatural and beyond.
