Third Stage: Me as Isabelle Analo

I’m not sure when I had my first panic attack

I just know it attacked My being

My body and My mind

I remember during one episode, being on my knees and almost begging for some type of help

Some type of savior

I didn’t know who or what to look to

So I started going deep

I went back to Nigeria

And I found my roots

I started researching Nigerian spirituality-

About the gods and goddesses of my motherland

I started seeing myself in them

And It eased something in me.
