My Invictus lowdown...

I AM from Plaistow in east London. I moved there from Lagos in Nigeria, where I was born, at the age of three. I went to Lister Community School in Newham.

I AM proud of being part of the team that brought the Olympics and Paralympics to London

I AM proud of being part of the team that went to Singapore and helped win the bid to bring the Paralympics and Olympics to London in 2012.

I AM excited about watching the GB Invictus basketball team retain their title - especially because one of my club team-mates, Simon Gibbs, will be leading the team.

I AM inspired by people who are passionate about what they do.

I AM also fluent in Spanish (Castellano).
