I remember starting off as Nigeriaâs first VERSATILE Androgynous Fashion Runway Model over eight(8) years ago, which meant defining that niche from the ground up. Most of you who have followed my journey from inception definitely remember how much weâve been able to achieve by Godâs Grace Today, Iâve been privileged to have coached models and creatives across Africa, Europe, Asia, and North America.
A wise mentor within the industry
@obyivy said a few words that has stuck with me through my transition within the creative industry. âModelling is a means to many other achievements in life, you just need to utilise it effectively.â This has been my anchor from being just a model to a coach, creative director, scout, event coordinator, and a few other creative roles Iâve been privileged to play while championing the development of other creative within my community, leading to my involvement in placing Nigerian models internationally, entrepreneurship skill development through our âCATWALK & ENTREPRENEURSHIP WORKSHOP WITH
@glitz_on_heelz â as well as supporting and sponsoring beauty queens & kings on their respective international competitions.
Most of yall must have noticed my transition, along with me being away from the runway for a few years now. I got to understand the next phase of my journey which is why i then moved to putting our WORKS as creatives, especially SUSTAINABLE FASHION & ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN NIGERIA within an Academic scope; a very strong foundation on how the creative industry in Nigeria also drives SDG 9 (Sustainable Development Goals - Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure). Whyâs the FASHION & ENTREPRENEURSHIP industry ALWAYS omitted during sustainability discussions within Nigeria? The 2024 revenue report by the LASG disclosed over $70million revenue.
Iâm now pleased to share that my application for the European Leadership Conference in Switzerland 2026 organised by the
@risingleadersmag has been successfully received. I look forward to the selection process and the opportunity to represent Nigeria on a global stage in Geneva, Switzerland this August.
