“I never post things like this but December 19th marked the 10 year anniversary since the start of my career. When baby 17 year old Temi started building jtofashion.com running between university classes and photoshoots she didn’t really have a clue where this was all heading but she was determined. I wish I could hug that girl and tell her all the hard work would pay off!!.
“What started as fashion blogging turned into writing, presenting, event hosting, modelling, creative direction, stage acting, film acting, singing, podcasting – I took every opportunity I could!! There was also so much trial and error in my journey: Failed projects. imposter syndrome, NO’s and many bad outfits.
“I never usually give myself the credit but this first week of 2025 I’ve been a bit nostalgic and have looked back over the countless photoshoots, rehearsals, emails, meetings, pitches, auditions, 5am call times and missed opportunities, I’m proud of myself for never giving up on my dreams and staying consistent throughout my 20s.”
