a one-room shack. According to Chilemba, "Growing up in Malawi
was very hard. I grew up with a single mother and she worked in
a shop. I had to quit my education because my mother couldn't
afford it. I lived in one room with my mother, my brother and my
sister. There was no bedroom. We were sitting on the floor. My
mother would sleep on one side of the floor and my brother, my
sister and I would sleep on the other side on the floor."
