Nigerian model Adetutu Alabi gained recognition after she started a campaign to get Fenty Boss, Rihanna to sign her up as a model. The model who eventually got followed by Rihanna has said that her tribal marks, a proud Yoruba mark of beauty, was a stumbling block to her pursuing a university education. According to The Punch, the model who kicked off this career path last year said that her bullying started in primary school and made her a recluse. An embarrassing day for me was when a client told me to always conceal my tribal marks anytime I came to work with her. She eventually told me that she couldn’t work with me.”She also said that she was termed ugly and her baby daddy eventually left her because he could not stand walking with her in public.
