she said, “While at an audition, the judges said, ‘Oh you walk well, but you are not tall enough’ and that broke my heart. I went home and started thinking about all the models who’d been told no because they aren’t tall enough or have a skin condition, even though they were talented, and how those people would face stereotypes and barriers in different areas of their life. So, I decided to create a stage, a runway, where people could showcase their talents.”

The model narrated he pains she passed through while achieving the feat. It got to a point her legs were bandages due to bruises but she didn’t give up her quest

Ololade revealed that her strength came from her determination to break stereotype and encourage others.

“For every step I took on the catwalk, I was taking a walk against stereotypes and challenges we face in the model and fashion industry. This is to tell everyone that your dream is valid and to all dreamers, chasers, risk takers out there, go break some record.”

She also stated that the massive support she received from people kept her going.
