A Shift in Expectations
Growing up, Kimansi Constable faced pressure from his immigrant parents to pursue prestigious careers in fields like law or medicine. However, when his parents became deeply religious, the focus shifted to ministry, leading to a conflict with Kimansi who desired a different path.
