Becoming a star is not an easy feat, which is why the story of this most beautiful black girl in the world who rose into stardom is truly remarkable. Here’s a look into her life and what she has become.

This Nigerian world left the whole world stunned with her unique beauty. Jarei El Jalana was born on January 1, 2014, and raised in Lagos, Nigeria, with her family. She was particularly a beautiful girl with lovely eyes, resembling a typical charming black woman.

Coming from a family of five, she spent more time with her older sisters Dramaloju and Joba. She and her sisters adopted a nickname known as the J3 Sisters since their names started with the letter J. She lived a very quiet life until things changed for her.

Her journey to fame began in 2018. In that year, she started a modeling career with the help of her mother and a professional photographer, Mofe Bamuyiwa, who was the owner of a photography studio in Lagos, Nigeria. The Nigerian photographer met the young girl through a colleague who had been taking pictures of her. When she saw her, she instantly knew this was a beautiful girl with unique characteristics that needed to be shared with the world. Mofe made it clear that she wanted to work with her as soon as possible.

The lifestyle photographer then came in contact with a colleague’s sister who surprisingly happened to be the girl’s mother. He went on to seek permission for her to take pictures of Jarei. At this point, the young girl never knew that her life was about to take an amazing turn. On this particular day, she had a photo shoot session with her two older sisters, Dramaloju and Joba. The pictures were then posted by the photographer on Instagram and other social media platforms. Surprisingly, they went viral.

The post got a lot of comments and thousands of likes. People who viewed the pictures were amazed at how beautiful the three girls looked. However, among the three sisters, it was Jarei’s undeniable beauty that got the internet community’s attention the most. A solo picture of her without her sisters traveled fast around social media platforms, blogs, and everywhere. In the picture, her striking natural features such as her smooth chocolate skin, brilliant eyes, beautiful afro hair, and stunning pose were all highlighted. People couldn’t hold back their admiration of how amazing she looked. She was all over the news.

Her stunning photo brought her and her family into the spotlight, and guess what? She became an overnight sensation. Yes, you heard that right. This was a proud moment for the young girl and her family, who couldn’t believe it when the news broke to them. From that moment, their lives changed completely.

Jarei’s photographer was also surprised at how many people from all around the world loved Jarei’s pictures. She went on to share the inspiration behind the amazing shot: “I wanted to portray the intersection between their childhood and adulthood, so both stayed timeless,” she said. She disclosed that he could have made Jarei laugh, but he decided to keep her in her natural moments so that people can see through her eyes. For her, she wanted everyone to see the girl’s powerful potential.

The creative photographer, who has a unique style, disclosed that she wanted the picture to speak to Jarei when she comes of age. In the future, she’ll be able to look at that photograph and realize how much people expect her to be someone who has the potential to alter the world and inspire many people, she said.

Due to how successful Jarei’s picture became and the potential in her older sisters, she advised her parents to open an Instagram account for them. As you can imagine, this turned out to be a great move for the child model and her family. An Instagram account was created by their mother, Omawumi Ijalana, and it amazingly got a lot of followers within a short space of time. The Instagram account helped promote the girls’ modeling careers.

The good-looking Nigerian girl went on to be labeled as the “most beautiful girl in the world” by Yahoo Lifestyle at the age of five. Can you believe that? She became the first black and African child model to earn such a status. Her achievement was a big moment for African culture. The title she earned was previously held by a French child model, Thylane Blondeau, who starred in French Vogue at the age of 10.

Beautiful Jarei went on to do other photo shoots with her two older sisters after the one she did in 2018. Lots of her pictures are on Instagram page, and they reveal every aspect of an African woman’s facial structure. She was also featured on the cover of different magazines and walked at respected fashion shows. But that was not all.

At the third edition of the Child Summit and Awards ceremony, which was held in Accra, Ghana, in 2019, Jarei won the Africa Child Fashion Personality Award. She received other awards in the sections of the most daring and the bravest. She was also honored with an award for the most strategically sound and forward-looking African child. This black beauty has also been signed up by different brands, both local and international. It is just so unbelievable what this girl has achieved at a young age.

After receiving many awards, some people doubted just how beautiful this girl truly was. However, their doubts were gone when her mother uploaded a number of her daughter’s pictures without makeup on social media platforms. It was then clear that this girl was indeed special. They were amazed at how her full natural hair blended so perfectly with her dark smooth skin and unique eyes. Truly, this girl was created specially.

So, how much is this Nigerian child model worth? According to reports, her net worth is believed to be around a hundred thousand dollars. Well, that’s not bad for a child model. In 2020, the black beauty had one of her most memorable moments yet. She participated in the London Fashion Week and worked the runways with other models. It was a beautiful experience for her.

In a post on her Instagram page, Jarei was seen walking along the street in London and telling her fans she arrived for the fashion show. The Instagram post stated, “Jarei in London for the London Fashion Week. Too blessed. It’s so amazing, and I am so honored to be doing runway shows with these amazing designers from all over the world. And grateful to my daddy. Words can’t express how much I love and am grateful for all the love and sacrifice. To all my beautiful sisters, Joba and Jomi, who could not be here, I am representing you in spirit. I love you.” She also thanked a photographer who played a vital role in making her famous. She gave some words of encouragement to Nigerian kids: “To all Nigerian kids, this is for you. You can do it too,” she said.

I am just so happy for her. Now, I know you might be wondering, “Well, what about her education?” The young model, who has now become an internet sensation, is currently enrolled in school and is very much concentrated on completing her primary education. According to reports, she goes to the same school as her two older sisters. Although

the name of her school hasn’t yet been disclosed, it is believed that schoolmates can’t stop screaming her name whenever she is at the school premises. You can just imagine the love she gets from school.

Her mother keeps an eye on her academics and makes sure she follows certain rules. This is to help put her under check so that she doesn’t get overwhelmed by the fame she enjoys. Despite this, she is still very much supportive of her daughter’s modeling career. She puts in the work to set up more gigs for her. It is safe to say her mother has her best interest in her heart. The young black model from Nigeria has now been placed under the care of a management team who are making sure that things are done properly. They are also responsible for training her and giving her the exposure she needs.

Mofe, who started Jarei and her two older sisters’ modeling careers, revealed that she plans on taking amazing pictures of the girls throughout their lifetime. Isn’t that amazing? I can’t wait to see your pictures of them.

Jarei, who has become a successful child model, will continue to be remembered as one of Africa’s top celebrities. Without a doubt, her achievement has inspired so many African children who now believe that there are no limits to what they can achieve irrespective of their age and where they come from.
