Zainab Balogun was first introduced to the modelling industry at the age of 16, after a thorough scouting in a local park in London by Premier Models Management. After acquiring that initial modelling experience, she booked campaigns both locally and internationally, which landed her a show at the New York Fashion Week.
Beaming with smiles, she said her journey as a model has been a worthwhile experience even though it has got its ups and downs like any other career. “I could list the challenges involved all day. Challenges in modelling come with every job you get. If the problem is not with the length of your hair, it would be your height, looks, colour or something else. The clients are always looking out for something specific, which you may not possess.
