"My mother is a typical Yoruba woman who frowned on the kind of exposure kids got from such pageants. She would ask why I would want to be half naked in front of strangers. She was not too keen about it and as a teenager, I looked up to my parents. When you love something very much and you are not being supported, then you have the tendency of looking away."
