On a very hot day, I went to the Adelabu Market in Ibadan, Nigeria, to meet Sarah. Several phone calls later, we found each other. She brought me inside a nearly abandoned plaza. 鈥淟ess noisy,鈥 she said. We climbed up to the highest floor. During the interview, she told me her livelihood as a market woman funded her children鈥檚 education. Rain or shine, she is at the market every day, under her umbrella. When we finished the interview, I looked down. What a view! As I snapped a photo, I wondered: 鈥淲hat are the stories of the other people under the umbrellas?鈥
