Oluwatosin Hannah Abiade is a Model, Life Coach, Singer, Actress, Public/ virtual speaker and Activist. She is a multi-talented lady which shows in her personality and career. Her journey into modeling and the entertainment industry started after embarking on white-collar job for a while, she decided to pursue her passion after differentiating what she wanted in her life.
“I think a lot of people see the potential in me before I do. Many times I have been told to go into modeling and acting but there was no support in all aspects to inspire me. It was also tagged ‘dirty/useless work’ by people. Also, hearing that from people you don’t want to disappoint is enough to disorganise you emotionally. So, that made me lose confidence but deeply I know I am in love with it and meant for it.” says Oluwatosin.
The first step she took was into Acting. She saw an audition advertisement with a number online, she messaged the number and got connected from there on. It was like the heavens were with her. She got featured in a movie as a sub-lead role in “The Cross and the Moon ”. Oluwatosin was also casted in another movie, ATORI. She did a lot of video skits both personal and collaborative.
