Jumoke told the interviewer that people always asked if she was their younger sister whenever she was with her peers.
The outspoken young lady said:
“I don’t feel depressed when they body-shame me… Whenever I’m body-shamed, I’m not embarrassed at all. I’ll just be happy because I’m still alive.”
The 100-level student also shared how she thought she wouldn’t get admitted.

“Before I got admission, I thought they wouldn’t give me admission, but I was happy at last that they did, because I tried getting admission before last year, but I wasn’t given admission.”
