Oluwakemi Mustapha, a hairstylist from Ogun State, shares her journey of disability and rejection to building her own successful business in the hairstyling industry. She has been working in the hairstyling business for about three years now. Initially, she wanted to secure a job, but her condition prevented her from finding employment.
After much struggle, she decided to learn a skill that would allow her to work comfortably and become self-reliant. After half a year of training, she embarked on her own hairstyling business, initially working from home and then eventually establishing her own space. Despite facing bullying and mocking due to her disability during her secondary school years, she persevered, gained support from her friends and sister, and ultimately found success in her chosen profession.
