About Me

I just want to take the time out to thank OLUWADUMARE for giving me life, love and understanding. I thank all those who are important to me. You know whom you are, so there is no reason I have to mention that you are close to my heart. Especially my mother. The one who gave me love and life. I appreciate you for loving me unconditionally. ALAFIA, Peace and blessings all, my name is Funmi Fola Obahnjoko. I am an honest and ageless young Nigerian Yoruba Sistah currently living in NYC. I came to the USA when I was very young. I attended Uhuru Sasa Shule and then Zidi Kuwa. I then went to private school until a scout from the prestigious Julliard School discovered her at a school talent competition and told my parents that I has the potential to be great and that they should bring me to Julliard for an audition to receive a full scholarship. I went to the audition and won appraises from the Julliard faculty and board of directors and was awarded a full scholarship. i attended Julliard and within a few years, I became a member of The Izulu Dance Theater and Junior Member of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. I traveled with my parents permission and set out to make something of herself. I went on to receive a full scholarship to attend the New York University's Tisch School of Performing Arts at age 16 where I graduated with an MBA in Theater Arts / International Dance Choreography at the age of 24. Upon my graduation, I also achieved greater respect from my family and community by getting my Beauticians License and becoming a Certified Bartender from the Wilfred Beauty Academy and the American Bartenders School. I am also an Iyalorisha. I shares this with you because I seek a friend who is understanding and not afraid of a successful young Nigerian Woman whom is not at all a male basher. A friend can be either homeless who wants to do right by themselves, not me, or a wall street executive who wants me to be happy. I now work in all of my fields when I can because being from another continent in itself a success for me. I speak 5 different languages: excluding English. I just do not want someone to be afraid of my accomplishments. I am just as mild-mannered as the calm that is before the storm. The only way the storm surfaces is if I am being lied upon, taken for granted or talked about. I just want the best for everyone and anyone. If there is anyone who seeks a friend like me...remember this, money is something you cannot look at. I could be a broke young lady just trying to make something of myself. It does not mean that I am a wealthy individual or a well-off I can remember days when I had no food, no nothing, even with all my credentials...no one gave me a second glance. Now I am a humble hardworking person who just want happiness for all. If I am not what u seek as a friend, I hope and pray that OLUWADUMARE blesses you and yours daily! I comes from a loving family and I just want an extended one outside of my immediate family. May OLUWARUMARE shine his light of love on all of you and I bids u good days and blessed lives. At your humblest blessings!IYALORISHA Funmi Fola ObahnjokoOLUWADUMARE Bless you all!/I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
