What got me started? : – Well, to start off, fashion is something that has stuck with me ever since I was a little girl. My love for fashion at that time may have come from the looks I had seen some of my fav celebrities have on back then. However, at this point, fashion is more than just what I thought it was while I was a little girl. Fashion has become a craft to me. I believe there’s so much out there in terms of what either fashion bloggers, YouTubers or even designers are doing out there! And, so, I decided to make fashion a form of performance for myself. I remember back when I was in Nigeria, I was not so crazy about watching fashion related videos on YouTube. This was because I felt there was really nothing on YouTube that would really push me to love fashion the way I love it now. But boy! was I wrong because the YouTube world of fashion is just full of young creatives. That’s when I decided that this whole fashion YouTube game was not a joke at all. – I began using my Instagram account often after secondary school but, it was not until I moved to Canada that my perception of Instagram itself changed. because I convinced myself to make my Instagram, my starting point. I can honestly tell you that, I never thought I would be able to start up a YouTube channel because I felt that platform wasn’t for me. Oh well, I tried challenging myself and I’m so happy with the progress I’ve made ever since I started my YouTube Channel in January 2017 as well as my Blog in October 2017!
