Olakunbi Oyelese of April By Kunbi today 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."
