From Cameroon to the White House; Meet Evelyn Chumbow

Everybody with the American Dream has high aspirations and goals to be achieved. Evelyn Chumbow left Cameroon about 25 years ago and immigrated to the US hoping to get a better education, better life and hence achieve her American dream goals. She rather found herself been forced to cook, clean, and look after the guardian’s young children with no pay. Enslaved and abused for eight years, she was cut off from her family and never went to school.
