We have had the pleasure of meeting Belinda Baidoo in person and she is funny, sexy, witty, crazy and sassy! Belinda who hails from Ghana, West Africa, in 1999, won Miss Ghana Top Model. Shortly after, she began modeling across West Africa including in countries like Ivory Coast. She subsequently migrated to New York, USA to further her modeling ambitions. She has been featured in publications like Essence and Pride Magazines, strutted the runways at New York Fashion Weeks but you probably recognize her as the face of some of your hair and beauty products by Clairol and Dark and Lovely Soft Sheen.
Genevieve Nnaji, Stephanie Okereke, Omotola Ekeinde-Jalade are some of Nollywood’s A-list actresses who have recently stepped up their fashion game and diversified their portfolios with business ventures in the music and fashion industries. Nnaji, for example, recently launched a fashion brand called St. Genevieve while Okereke is alleged to have recently signed a $1million deal as the brand spokesperson and face of USA based L’Maj Cosmetics. These Nollywood stars, however, are not the only ones re-branding/getting makeovers. The Nollywood Convention, produced by the Nollywood Foundation Inc., a non-profit headquartered in Los Angeles, California which attracts A-list Nollywood celebrities like the aforementioned, directors, producers and key industry players in Hollywood and Bollywood is also receiving a makeover.

In today’s world, there is a persistent myth: if a woman is attractive, then she is automatically impossibly unintelligent. The idea that she could manage to let her attractiveness and other talents work to her advantage are completely asinine. At Ladybrille we’ve decided to combat that stereotype with this month’s theme of Modelpreneurs. A "Modelpreneur" is a beautiful woman who is not only dazzling in appearance but [with her intelligence] and successful professional endeavors.
Born to a Congolese mother and a Cypriot father in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Noella Coursaris Musunka was sent to live abroad at an early age. Some years ago, the modeling bug bit when Noella entered a contest to become the face of an Agent Provocateur campaign. When she beat out the competition, the wheels of her trailblazing modeling career were set in motion. Since then, her image has graced billboards and magazine pages the world over, representing brands like Apple, Virgin Mobile and Organic Root Stimulator. Despite traveling and seeing many of the wonders of the world, Coursaris’ heart still lies in Africa. Noella’s connection with the land of her birth is unbreakable even after years of separation.
