In this episode we spoke with Ayodele Omojola @omjayo Who's names means a child is worth more than money. Ayodele came from a background of trials and tribulations. He felt like living in Nigeria, was like living in a maze. His father was in the military living overseas, who was a very disciplined man. Who didn’t buy him toys as a child and told him to read books. This mentality shaped him as a young man & brought to where he is today. He talked about how he got an opportunity to go to Seoul, Korea. & from there his modeling career started.
Ayodele has modeled for brands like NFL, Samsung, FILA, FIFA sport & so many more.
Even before he came to Seoul, his mother told him to look into modeling, and he’d always said no, then one day in korea, his classmate recommended that apply for this job that was looking for an African model. He said no again. But the classmate persuaded him. And his first modeling gig was a commercial for Samsung. And how he did 30 plus modeling shoots before signing with Viva Model Management. He spoke on how that upgraded him as a fashion model vs when people used to take advantage of him as a free agent. He speaks in depth, on why he doesn’t want to be a called a black model. Ayodele said he’s learns how to do things from dreams, he learns from dreaming or meditating in sleep. He says coming from an African home is something `spiritual. He wants to change the identity of black models in Korea, as well as take the Asian struggles to a global market. He spoke about investing into cryptocurrency in Korean side. We dive into which Africans have the best Joloff rice and so much more.
