TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF
I’m Nigerian, born and raised. Currently based in Florida, USA. I’m a pro model and content creator/creative. I consider myself a jack-of-all-trades.
WHAT DROVE YOU INTO DISCOVERING YOUR KIND OF CRAFT?
I’ve always wanted to model but i knew i didn’t want to “sell my soul” per-se. So I worked hard to be my own photographer, creative director, stylist and eventually made it a career.
DO YOU HAVE A MENTOR?
No I don’t
TELL US ONE THING WE WOULDNT KNOW ABOUT YOU?
When i was younger, I got an injection from a doctor in Nigeria that damaged my nerve and paralyzed me in one leg and was told i’d never be able to walk on it again but with my mother’s relentless and tireless fight and countless trips to many different specialists and centers, a little after a year, i was able to walk again.
IN YOUR OWN WORDS DESCRIBE FASHION & WHAT INSPIRES YOUR PERSONAL STYLE?
My style is “Free”. I follow no labels nor trends. I wear a lot of “male” attire and dress it up in my own way as well. I find strength in being able to embody any style and convey a feeling or mood based on how i’m dressed.
WHAT WOULD YOU PREFER A SIMPLE OR FLAMBOYANT LOOK?
Flamboyant all the way. I always have a LOUD presence lol. Simple is boring and overdone.
DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE DESIGNER & PHOTOGRAPHER?
I don’t actually
HOW DO YOU FEEL YOUR SOCIETY AFFECTS YOUR INDUSTRY?
The type of modeling i do isn’t as common. Nowadays you kind of have to bear it all physically to be seen. While i am a huge supporter of women doing whatever the $&?! they want with their bodies, it’s not really my style..
MOST REWARDING PART OF BEING A MODEL?
Representing many women, black women especially. You can be and embody whoever you want. Beauty is a feeling, it
ONE THING YOU HOPE TO IMPROVE ON IN YOUR INDUSTRY?
I hope in the modeling industry that we stop placing our worth based on our body types/sizes. I’ve been told countless times that i can’t consider myself a real model if i can’t shoot nude & i dedicate the rest of my career to proving that statement wrong.
