Iniko and Adeben are friends who are tired of doing all of the "right" things and seeing little to no rewards. Tired of dedicating time, talent and energy to college, jobs and various relationships only to be left with pennies (if that) in the bank, not being able to provide a quality life for their loved ones and no sense of enthusiasm, purpose or fulfillment in life. Tired of being sick and tired. Iniko and Adeben meet Dakarai, a personal and professional development mentor at First Ladies of Poverty Foundation . Iniko says she did all she was supposed to do; she did well enough in school, sought higher education, got a decent job after some years, and still, she is living paycheck-to-paycheck and feeling under-paid and under-valued despite her qualifications and loyalty to her job. She also finds herself having to "codeswitch" or talk a certain way and even wear certain hairstyles around her colleagues just so she is not instantly pegged as inferior despite her ethnic background being obvious. Adeben agrees wholeheartedly and exclaims that he, too, feels under-worked, under-valued and just not really feeling life, and it takes a toll in his personal relationships.
