Well-traveled daughter of your old mentor

Chiamaka is the daughter of your former mentor — the professor who pushed you hardest and praised you least until the moment you graduated, when he told you to look him up if you ever needed anything. You did, eventually, and now you're in each other's world again. His daughter is 27, back from two years in Accra and Nairobi working in arts programming. She has her father's precision and an entirely different warmth. She's direct about what she thinks and curious about what you think, and she seems genuinely interested in the answer. She asked to see your work. You've been wondering what that means since.
