A Friday with Jummy…

Haven’t you heard or haven’t you seen that beauty fades, I tell you the truth make up your mind to be spiritual…

I have watched and followed this beautiful model on IG@jummyofficial, she’s one that’s passionate, determined and good at what she does. And today, we can all get to know her more.

Lima

Welcome to Lima’s blog, can you tell us a little about yourself Ma?

Jummy

I am Olajide Jumoke by name well known as Jummy, I’m still an undergraduate, I’m tender, the only child of my parents. I am from Ekiti state but I live right here in Lagos, ikorodu Lagos.

Lima

Wow…

Dear I have been following you on IG for a while and I see that you are a model, tell us how far do you intend going with your career?

Jummy

Thank you.

Well modelling was never part of my dreams in life before, In fact I didn’t even know anything about it when I started and I never really thought of modeling before but one day, someone very close to me said “Jummy you will make a great model.” To cut the long story short, that was how I developed interest in it. I have worked with THE CLUB LAKERS and FEMSON HOTEL, above all my achievements is publicity, meeting new people and many more.

Lima

Lovely Ma…. Very inspiring, can you tell us about your dreams before modelling came along the line?

Jummy

Being the only child of my parents I just wanted to work, all I had in mind then was any means to make money, anything that can just fetch me money was the deal. In the process I went to learn catering, and bead making. But my main dream is to go to school to study linguistic like I do say ‘I don’t want to work under anybody, but I want to be a representative to companies world wide.’ I just applied University of Ibadan after university of Ilorin turned me down three years ago.

Lima

You do have an inspiring spirit Ma and you also love to learn new things, what are the ups and downs of being the only child?

Jummy

Lol…

honestly it’s not funny. You see then, when I watch movies and a child is saying to their parent “i promise I won’t disappoint you” I do say the same thing to my parents without realizing what I was saying. My parents are not rich and as the matter of fact we don’t beg to eat but all the same loneliness, it’s very hard to deal with no one to talk to, can’t share all things with my mum and the word says trust no one and that’s why I am like this till today, i keep words to myself of course I do, I do have two wonderful friends Omobolanle and morenikejimi friends of uncountable years bless them God, they are always there for me.

Lima

Oh… Sorry about that dear, I will love to go on and on but, what do you love about being a model?

Jummy

First of all I love the title “MODEL” now!!! I love the publicity, also I love the successful models scriptures about it, Wow, it has done a lot. Like I mentioned earlier publicity, this has really helped me in areas of meeting new people everyday and also meeting you and with where I am today I am always happy when new models say I want to be like jummyoffical. It’s a blessing!

Lima

I am lad that beyond publicity and income, modeling has made an impact in your life.

How do you see fashion?

Jummy

My personal views about fashion is, fashion itself is art. We all know that the iconic fashion items are already part of the history of applied art. I believe that in the future, the fashion world will become more exclusive and also democratic than today’s look.

Lima

True.

What do you love about being a woman?

Jummy

Women face many unique challenges and many opportunities come there ways and for that cause, I’m grateful!
I love my body as a woman, I know there are a lot of things about being a woman that aren’t very fun (periods, shaving, plucking, makeup, long hair getting caught in the door, etc) but it’s so great to be a woman! I love the feeling of freshly-shaved skin, I love dying my hair and doing cool up-dos, LOL. I love wearing beautiful dresses and high heels, I love my little curvy body and my straight legs.

Lima .

Let’s go a little personal.

Ready?

Jummy

Sure…

Lima

Any love-relationship?

Jummy

yes/no, actually it’s complicated 😕😕😕

Why?

Men’s definition of a model is different, no one wants their girlfriends to have to open their body to any photographer and even if you assure them that you won’t open your body, the truth is always bitter and I can’t sacrifices my career for loves sake.

Lima

I pray that you will find a man that will understand you dear and be passionate about you darling.

Can you tell us about your relationship with the Holy Spirit?

Jummy

Aside from being a model, I also work as a salary earner. I used to work in a club as the club ambassador and we all know what a club is all about which means I work including Sunday’s and that has really stopped me from going to church for some months now but not anymore and that doesn’t stop me from praying, when I wake up everyday if not a serious prayer, I still get to bless God for my life.

Would you like to spend quality time with God, get to know him more and discover yourself in him?

Jummy

Definitely, I don’t want to be the worldly type, I am devoted, work just kept me away a little and like I said not anymore. That has to change.

Lima

Any advice to the young women out there aspiring to become models, any scars , difficult time climbing the ladder you want to tell them about?

Jummy

My advice to young models and women out there is, don’t ever say you want to be like anyone because we’re created differently, I am not saying you shouldn’t have a role model but do whatever you want to do in life because you want to do it and not because others are doing it. Like I do say

just do it, don’t think twice.

In every corner there’s always a bad road but just stay strong, focused and determined.

I just want to die empty, unleash all my potentials .

To be successful in life you need to have a story, and the story line is the difficult time, when the world seems upside down.

Lima

I must say I am blessed and inspired Jummy, thank you for telling us about you darling.

Jummy

Thank you for having me, I am most delighted.
