Lagos, Nigeria (CNN)It's
a classic case of being in the right place at the right time. A young
street seller oblivious to the scene ahead, her wares perched atop her
head, photobombed a shoot and in that split second her life changed
forever.
Jumoke Orisaguna is a
mother of two who used to walk the streets of Lagos selling bread.
Originally a hairstylist from Osun State, south west Nigeria, she was
struggling to make ends meet, and left her husband and two children in
their home town to become a street vendor in the economic capital.
Working from 2:30pm to 11:00pm selling bread, Jumoke would make less than $20 each day --with a profit of around $1.
Now she's about to become a top model; signed to a modeling agency and gaining international fame and prominence.
