Zustine

She dreamed beyond the fields she worked, a fire inside for something more than what she could imagine. Her parents, just surviving, blind to what she was meant to grow into. She stayed and stayed, but was long gone already.

And she left at seven years old. No map, no hand to hold. Not even knowing that anything is possible, she walked an endless way. The road to Bangui, uncertain, long, and Bangui… she had nowhere to go.

When Adam met her, he found not a victim but a voice. Soft, singing in Sango, yet strong to reach through language and walls alike.

She walks now, a woman, with the same steady steps that carried her to the city. From dust grew strength and the loudest voice heard, shaping a path of creating difference, chance, and freedom.

This is not survival, it is refusal, resilience, it is grabbing your little freedom to decide and running towards your own future with everything you’ve got. It is about how one step, one voice, one cut on your bare feet can change everything.
