When I got to day four and five, I really struggled to stay awake
0:06
I was born during the war. We moved a lot. I've always dreamed of doing something out of the ordinary
0:13
But due to the life I had, I felt like I didn't get the opportunity
0:17
until I found out about the longest cooking marathon. I've always loved cooking. I had a restaurant
0:23
So I thought this is a good opportunity to achieve something big. You can do it
0:32
I did a lot of Labyrinth International friendly food because I wanted everybody to be able to eat the food
0:37
that we were making there. Right here we have the A-planes too with white rice
0:42
Jollof, Labyrinth style, I believe, with white rice. And then I also did a lot of fufu with different soups
0:50
During the marathon, I had breaks every four hours. I tried to take like five minutes nap
0:56
Every time I take the power nap, I found it difficult to get back into routine
1:01
I really struggled to stay awake. When I got to day four and five I felt like I was very weak I just had to keep pushing myself I relied on my team a lot When the community was there and people were like singing and dancing I felt like my energy
1:21
was there. Someone from my church made an announcement and said, Yvette, we are actually
1:27
reaching to your record-breaking moment. Gathered everyone together and drew everyone's attention
1:34
and told me, you have broken your record. And I was extremely excited and happy
1:43
It was kind of a struggle for her, but yeah, I'm really proud of my mom
1:48
I wanted to encourage women, single moms, that if you have a dream to be great, there's hope for you
1:54
No matter your background, no matter your skills, wherever you are. I broke the record at 140 hours, 11 minutes and 11 seconds, beating the previous record
2:09
by 20 hours. After the marathon, rejoiced with family and had a very nice sleep
2:17
I slept for about three days
