FROM BREADSELLER TO BREADWINNER : THE JUMOKE STORY



The story of the young lady who went from being a breadseller to being a model in a matter of minutes is  definitely the talk of the town right now. The life changing story has got heads rolling and tongues waggling.
Olajumoke Orisaguna hit her jackpot as some would call it when she photobombed a celebrity, Tinietempah's shoot with Ty Bello, a famous photographer in Nigeria.
Ty Bello who claimed to have noticed some distunct features in her included Jumoke  in the shoot and ever since then  the ex breadseller 's life has transformed totally.
Now while some may say it's mere luck or "good head",  many have agreed that it is purely divine,  it's no coincidence.
The 27 year old mother of 2 kids went from a simple bread hawker to being the most popular girl in Nigeria right now. She was featured on the cover page of Thisday Magazine and that was just the beginning of her stardom.
Tv stations have featured the amazing story of this young lady,  including CNN! Various fashion blogs and websites across the world have also posted about the story,  including U.K and even India. Talk about worldwide recognition... 



Even the celebrity,  Tinietempah @tiniegramon IG made her his WCW(Woman crush Wednesday) last week. 

Jumoke is obviously sorted for life as she has been signed for various modelling contracts already. Just recently,  PayPorte,  an online shopping brand signed up Jumoke as its official campaign face for 2016.

This story is definitely a moral lesson to all of us. Keep doing what you know how to do best,  be in the right place at the right time because you never know when God will decide to elevate you and change your story for good. Don't give up when you are just at the point of your breakthrough. What would have happened to Jumoke if she had decided not to hawk bread that day and stayed home or if she had taken another route? 
Also,  Jumoke's story serves as a wake-up call for all Nigerians. Like Ty Bello said,  there are many Jumokes around you. You might not be able to land that pepper selling a modelling contract,  but render some help in your own little way. If she says her pepper is #1000, don't price it to #250.
