Model Funmi Olagunju Reclaims Her Voice Through Writing
“All the connections I’ve had and all the conversations, have helped me see myself as more than just a model. I’m trying to be true to who I am.”
“Visibility and accountability are important in allowing people to show off their talents”
“As a writer I have all these stories that I’m slowly releasing like birds but I can’t lie that It’s really scary how they’re going to be received by people.”
“I think using your voice can be a very powerful experience but time is necessary in crafting how you want to use it”
