1 / 2

A Nigerian woman has begun a fully funded Master’s degree in Mathematics at the University of Calabria in Italy, five years after sharing a photo of herself in her cleaner’s uniform. She recalled that a colleague had asked how she felt comfortable posting the photo. She said the uniform reflected her present circumstances, not her future, and she would not hide her reality because others might judge her. She has now secured the scholarship and expressed gratitude to those who supported her journey, writing, “Alhamdulillah, always.”
