Ololade Ayelabola
By Akeem Atoyebi
Nigerian model Ololade Ayelabola has set world record for the longest distance walked on a catwalk.
She covered impressive 125.11 kilometers (77.74 miles) during a five-day fashion event held in Lagos.
The 26-year-old started the record-breaking journey after being rejected by a Lagos Fashion Week event due to her height.
Driven by resilience and a desire to challenge conventional beauty standards, Ayelabola created her own platform to promote inclusivity and diversity in the fashion industry.
Her achievement not only highlights her determination but also sends a powerful message about breaking barriers and redefining beauty ideals in the modeling world.
