From bread seller to a top model

Olajamuke's story was a case of being in the right place at the right time. A young street seller oblivious to the scene ahead, her wares perched atop her head, photobombed a shoot and in that split second her life changed forever.

Jumoke Orisaguna is a mother of two who used to walk the streets of Lagos selling bread. Originally a hairstylist from Osun State, south west Nigeria, she was struggling to make ends meet, and left her husband and two children in their home town to become a street vendor in the economic capital.

Working from 2:30pm to 11:00pm selling bread, Jumoke would make less than $20 each day --with a profit of around $1.

Now she's about to become a top model; signed to a modeling agency and gaining international fame and prominence.

Now a new year, does not necessary make everything new, nor does the movement of the clock produce the newness of life , it is the movement in your mind that gives newness to life. Our biggest enemy we have in our lives is 'ourselves', in what we think, in what we have in our minds, and unless we take ...

So Far Gone

The week is coming to an end, and four days are so far gone. Friday is one of the most loved days by many. One of the activities that we should all include in our to do list is making sure we read something, an article, a book (probably a page or a chapter) and learn something new. I have been reading the book " The Confident Woman'' by J.Meyer and I would recommend this book to any woman out there, who is learning to love herself, learning to be confident and trying to find her place in this planet called earth. It's worth it!
