[The house in which I interviewed Laye was very nice and was decorated with bright colors and images of religious figures. We were sitting in the house so it would have been weird to talk about it. But I have included some pictures so you can get an idea.]
Diender is a lot like Yoff [This the area where I live!]. Both these communities are Lebou (an ethnic group) and at the heart, they are the same. We are a big extended family connected by marriage, but also wrestling.
[Asking about family members can be tricky. Some (even most!) people are very open about their families, but some public figures like Laye prefer some privacy. Laye did not want to talk very much about his immediate family. He wanted to keep our conversation about wrestling and I completely understand!]
All the time, I jog long distances at the beach. I usually just train, so I spend my time at the gym or working out at the beach.
[I usually see Laye in athletic wear, like joggers and tshirts, but like everyone else, he dresses to fit the occasion. See the photos for what Laye wears when he is "at work."]
