“Every time I had a test or a public-speaking project or an interview, my mother said the same prayer for me: ‘May whatever Yetunde says be the right thing to say.’ There was freedom in that prayer, because even a mistake would be right. There would be some reason for it. It taught me to trust myself, so as I stood in front of that room, I started talking. The right words just poured through me. I knew what I was saying, but I wasn’t in control of it.”
