  In this remarkable story, Adunni, the main character, depicts ambition fuelled with a burning desire to succeed despite all odds. Tales of this type still abound in Lagos, and they are portrayed in the media daily. Adunni is hailed as the poor girl with a rich mind, "Sherlock Holmes," who never stops asking intelligent questions, a child-bride, and a strong-willed girl who grew up fast due to the circumstance her parents put her through. However, she had the guts to pursue the life she wanted. - An education by any means necessary.  Adunni finally got her groove back after reading such an easy book, I could relate to the characters there. the harsh and despicable reality of Lagos till date. I would recommend this book to my friends and would love to see it turned into a film.

Girls And Women In STEM, Innovation And Design
Girls in STEM, featuring young women scientists and engineers who wowed the President and the nation at the White House Science Fair in February, shines a spotlight on these extraordinary young role models and their exciting projects -- ranging from a machine that detects buried landmines, to a prosthetic hand device, to a lunchbox that uses UV light to kill bacteria on food.


Within Africa, STEMafrica, it is an organisation that aims to make a difference by influencing young people to focus on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math by way of: Encouraging young children(6 to 12 years) to consider a career in STEM, creating opportunities for older children in science(12 to 17 years) to such events as scientific fairs and educational tours and creating opportunities for students and young graduates of STEM to enhance their career development and encouraging them towards business ownership rather than employment.
