It took some time to appreciate that God blessed me with a fantastic frame. A height that should make it to America's Next Top model or at least some frontpages of a good fashion magazine.
Please don't call it pride. I heard the height requirements for beauty contests and I know some models. They told me, what am telling you.
Don't hate the player, hate the game.
I’ve had calls to add to my career, a modeling twist. Many say they would sponsor and manage me if I decided to add modeling to my dreams. Fantastic!
I never had any training in modeling but I guess I perfectly can fit in those beautiful shoes of modeling.Thankfully, I don’t even have a lot of breasts to show and I guess my buttocks are just moderate enough to cover them up in beautiful clothes.
But the question is, am I ready to handle the meal modeling serves? Do I want to dress fully to work like I do in my career as a journalist or do I want to wear a skinny pant with bra in high heels (probably higher than I can comfortably walk in them) and expose my beautiful thighs for the whole world to see?
I still belong to the group of ladies who feel so awkward to be the centre of extreme gaze in the dimly lit runways of fashion studios.

I am not that bold. And exposing flesh to highlight the new bra or bikini is simply not my idea of my attire for work.
Growing up as a little girl, I had such difficulty accepting my figure. I was the slimmest in the family across board and I guess I still am; naturally slim and this was a headache for me; because I lived in an environment where being slim meant you were sick or didn’t eat well. But honestly I ate as much as I could and yet no flesh would show up to an extent they used to call me, number one written on a board with a chalk and a thread. Stop laughing.
Now I can confidently say that even after birth I’ll remain this way. Did I hear you say, this girl has no idea what she’s talking now? Well, that will b the judge won't it?
But back to my point. I would love to model but I think the demands of the job would not allow me to per my personal rules. I don’t believe I need to expose my naked body to the whole world to see. I love my body and I guess it should be sacred to the man I will spend the rest of my life with.
Please don’t get me wrong here. I don’t condemn anyone who’s in this. I actually love watching modeling shows on international TV but I don’t see myself exposing my flesh like that.
And again, I love to have fun when I’m walking. I make time to twist my small waist, lift my shoulders on high, look straight ahead of me like I own the whole world and walk on like the woman I am.
I read about some international models and their experiences and I tell myself I’m not ready to handle this. Am I being too someway? Or probably I have the wrong picture? But I guess I would love to dress fully to work even if I have to do that. There’re those who model in suits and wear full clothes. I don’t have to dress half naked to work. Or? What do you think?
