The first time Remei Sipi put on a sweater she was 16 years old. “It was when I arrived in Catalonia. Before, I had lived in a country, Equatorial Guinea, where there were no summers or winters, there was a sunny season and a rainy season, but it was always hot,” explains the writer, who still has a very vivid memory of the walk she took in the rain to go to school. “My friend would come to pick me up and to avoid getting wet, we would cover ourselves with banana leaves,” she recalls.
