ABOUT Founder

Though an accounting graduate, her journey to entrepreneurship in talent discovery and management away from an accountancy career path began from her passion for advocacy. During her five years as a model, Bolajo Fawehinmi witnessed the failings of the African fashion modelling industry and lack of diverse representation of african models internationally which in her words, occurred as a result of an uninformed definition of african beauty by international stakeholders.  

She vowed to create an impact, a mission to recreate modelling across Africa as a respected art, redefine the uninformed definition of an undiluted African beauty around the world, establish modelling as a financially sustainable career path for Africans, and rewrite the narrative of unconventional entrepreneurs who are seen as less successful than traditional professionals.  A journey  that became the birth of FeW Models Africa.
