Olajumoke’s story has forced me to look closer at my surroundings – April By Kunbi writes

olajumoke

It’s no news that Olajumoke’s story literally broke the internet last week, and we were reminded about how amazing God’s grace is and that he’s still in the business of turning lives around and blessing us.

I’d wanted to do a Christmas postcard but my schedule last quarter of 2015 was beyond hectic (Not complaining o! Lol). So I decided to do a Valentine postcard instead…Not a lookbook/collection as a lot of blogs have reported.

I mentioned in my post last week that I’ll definitely be booking her and I don’t regret it one bit! It was a pleasure working with her and seeing her transform, taking instructions, moving like she’s been doing it all her life.

She’s a natural!

Jumoke’s story has forced me to look closer at my surroundings. There’s absolutely no doubt she is blessed but there are a lot of Olajumokes around us. Hardworking and just want to feed and help their families.

You might not be able to get that pepper seller a modelling contract, but the next time she says the price for her pepper is ₦100, please don’t price it to ₦30. I’ve been guilty of this, trust me.  To think that someone around me works/walks in the sun all day and her profit at the end of the day is at most ₦500.

I’m happy to have offered Jumoke her first paying modeling job. May it be the beginning of an amazing career for her. She might not be a runway model but she’s perfect for print and editorial!  May God help us all to make someone’s life easier, someone’s load a lot easier to carry.

God bless you TY Bello for the reality check. Special thank you to Frank Ugah; you came through for me at such short notice and to Christine Creations!! Christine listened to my brief to the T. You are amazing!!! Happy Valentines Day to every single one of you! God bless you. #SpreadLoveNotHate.
