The closer we get to FFFWeek® 2016 the more exciting it gets for all of us who love this event. Many of us are counting down the days and selecting our looks (we have to slay) as I type this post. As we prepare for the event, there are certain announcements from the FFFWeek® camp that enhance our excitement because they are an indicator that we are just a little bit closer to the week when the curves will conquer the concrete jungle. The announcement of “The FACE”of FFFWeek®, is one of those things.
Back in March, Jasmine Okoli was announced as the winner of this year’s face competition and she literally hit the ground running. Since the announcement was made she has been spreading her contagious energy and creating content about Full Figured Fashion Week®. While most of the content takes us on a journey with her as she prepares for the renowned event, some of the content is very informative and all of it is encouraging.
Jasmine is a Southern Belle who hails from Dallas, Tx but is currently a resident of “The Windy City (Chicago).” She is a graduate of the University of Oklahoma where she received honors in dual degrees of a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry Pre-Medicine and a Bachelor of Arts in African and African American Studies. Jasmine is also passionate about servicing others and is an advocate of children and senior citizens.
It is no secret that I live for a woman who defies the odds and greets adversity with a smile, Jasmine seems to be one of those women. In the aftermath of losing her father to cancer in 2013, Jasmine found the courage to pursue her dreams of becoming a model. Prior to submitting her entry for“The Face” of FFFWeek®, Jasmine was already preparing and laying a foundation by using her gifts. The use of those gifts have allowed Jasmine to be featured in a number of prominent blogs including Black Bride, MunaLuchi Bride, Jane Deux, and Lulu Lopez Photography.
Personally, I am excited to see what Jasmine brings to the table as she has great shoes to fill as “The Face” of Full Figured FashionWeek® 2016. For me, IT is refreshing to have yet another beautiful woman to add to the event’s prestigious group that has been affectionately deemed the#FACEMob by former “FACE”, Toy Monique.
Ladies, help me welcome Jasmine Okoli as the 2016 “FACE" of Full Figured Fashion Week®!
