Olakunbi Oyelese of April By Kunbi shared amazing
photos of bread seller turned print model, Jumoke
wearing one of her collections.
The photo is from a Valentine postcard she did recently.
Explaining, Kunbi wrote;
“It’s no news that @Olajumoke__o’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 Val 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 modeling 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.”
