Reading Novels
I enjoy reading fiction and non-fiction novels, blogs, and articles during my free time to enhance my language skills and improve my public speaking abilities. Some of the novels I've read include The Structure of Scientific Revolutions by Thomas Kuhn and Elon Musk by Ashlee Vance,The River and The Source by Margaret Ogolla.
In addition to reading, I also enjoy playing FIFA on my PS5 console and watching football games from La Liga, Serie A, and the English Premier League over the weekend.
I also enjoy listening to music such as Afrobeats, Hip Hop, Amapiano and RnB
