Bright Ugwoegbu was 9-years-old when his dad first told him he was the man of the house.

It was 2005, and the family had just relocated to Houston from Nigeria, where his dad was a former diplomat and still helped run the family business.

Ugwoegbu was the oldest child, and his dad's instructions meant that he was supposed to listen to his mom and help keep his brother and sister in line.
