Sharing the runway with world-class models from Italy, London, Paris, and beyond was a blessing, and when I saw my image on a New York City billboard, tears reminded me of how far faith has carried me. This is not just my moment, it belongs to Sierra Leone, the nation of my birth, whose name I long to see lifted among the nations,” he said.

Even if I cannot attend every destination due to business, job, and family responsibilities, the opportunity itself is unforgettable. From Sierra Leone to the screen, and now to the international runway, my modelling and fashion journey is a testimony that with God, impossibility becomes inevitability, and that every step we take in faith is a step toward destiny,” he said.
