Nollywood actress Moyo Lawal has hit back at a man who age-shamed her and accused her of refusing to retire from the entertainment industry, preventing younger actresses from getting opportunities.
The man had allegedly criticised the actress, claiming she was “not giving younger hoes a chance” and questioned why she had continued to remain active in the industry.
Responding to the comment, Lawal questioned whether the man was upset because of her appearance and addressed the circumstances surrounding her past relationship.
In her lengthy response, she wrote: “You are pained because I look amazing? Because I left a man who’s feeble brain could not stand losing me and tried to destroy me at a time? Me and sleeping around has nothing in common” she wrote in her lengthy response.
Lawal has previously faced public scrutiny over her personal life, particularly following the leak of an intimate video involving her in 2023.
The actress has continued to push back against online attacks and attempts to shame her over her sexual and private life.
‘You are pained because I left a feeble brained man’ — Moyo Lawal fires back
The polished images associated with fashion rarely reveal everything happening behind them.
For Veronika Vovk Dmytriyivna, building a career as a model and fashion influencer has been about more than her fashion projects, international work and extensive travel. In her career, she has also encountered challenging experiences, different professional environments, and decision-making situations that have shaped her. Veronika has gained insight into being more cautious and attentive to others, listening to her instincts, and being more confident in making her own decisions.
These lessons are now complemented by international professional experience that includes working with Guess, an ongoing collaboration with Italian brand 100% Capri, fashion shows connected to Demna, and commercial advertising experience.
Success Has a Less Visible Side
Veronika’s career can be seen from the outside in terms of her professional accomplishments. During her modelling career she has worked with Ukrainian and foreign fashion brands and also been widely travelling around.
This experience has enabled her to gain experience in working in various professional settings, and to work on projects that involve famous people. But, Veronika’s journey hasn’t been easy. As she has endured many hardships and hard times in her life, she has had to cope with some people who mean something different when they say it.
For example, these experiences help her to be more mindful of the people she spends time with, to listen to her gut and to make her own choices.
Learning to Trust Her Own Judgment
Perhaps one of the most important things she has learned is to pay more attention to the people she chooses to be around in all areas of her life, especially at work. Veronika discovered through trial and error that it is crucial to be aware of the people she is in close proximity to.
It was also a confidence booster that made her do what she felt was right, and do it on her own. These lessons have influenced Veronika’s attitude toward the various persons and circumstances in her career.
Confidence Built Through Experience
For Veronika, confidence has been built through experience. One notable international experience was an advertising campaign for a Cypriot airline that included a scene with Andrea Pirlo. Working on international projects involving well-known personalities such as Andrea Pirlo has helped Veronika gain confidence and experience in different working environments.
Professionalism Wherever the Work Takes Her
Those experiences helped her develop three major attributes that are important to her in her work: professionalism, adaptability and confidence. Through her experience working with international brands and personalities, Veronika has learned the importance of remaining professional, adaptable and confident in different environments.
Her Instagram account, @nikavovkk, reaches a mostly Ukrainian and Slavic audience. One of Veronika’s priorities as her career progresses is to increase her visibility in the international fashion industry and reach a wider audience across Europe and around the world.
The Discipline Behind an International Career
Not everything Veronika has learned comes from modelling. She was also working and travelling extensively for her career while completing her degree in Psychology in Ukraine. Throughout her studies, she continued pursuing her education while remaining active in her professional career.
University, Work and Constant Travel
Balancing university, work, and constant travel was a major challenge for Veronika. It took a lot of organisation, discipline and determination. During her studies, she continued collaborating with Ukrainian and international brands and working on fashion projects.
Despite having a demanding schedule, she finished her degree in Psychology while continuing to grow her career in the fashion industry. Being able to balance those two challenging areas is one of Veronika’s biggest achievements.
Why One Path Doesn’t Have to Be Enough
One of the main things Veronika has learned from her journey is that individuals don’t need to be limited to solely one purpose. She feels that one can pursue an education, build a career, travel and grow in several different areas at the same time with proper organisation and the right mindset. Her own experience reflects that belief. During her studies, Veronika continued working with Ukrainian and international brands and participating in various fashion projects while completing her education.
Taking Ownership of a Personal Brand
For Veronika, it is not just a matter of finding another modelling opportunity. She wants to strengthen her personal brand, increase her visibility in the international fashion industry and reach a wider audience across Europe and internationally.
From The Start of Her Career, Learning From Experience.
Veronika is currently working on her career as a model and fashion influencer while also growing professionally from the difficulties and experiences she has faced during her journey. She has learned to be more careful with whom she has contact, more trusting of her intuition and more confident in her own choices.
These lessons complement the professionalism, adaptability and confidence she has gained through working with international brands and personalities. As Veronika plans for a bigger international presence, these experiences remain an important part of her journey.
What Comes Next for Veronika?
For the future, Veronika aspires to further build her professional career in the world of fashion and be associated with well-known brands, broaden her professional footprint and further explore the fashion world.
Her career has already brought her out of Ukraine and into working with European and international brands, commercial ads and international professional experiences. In addition to these professional accomplishments, Veronika has acquired the skills to juggle all aspects of her life, including education, work and traveling extensively. She is growing more professional, adaptable and confident in her ability to do so in different environments as a result of her international experiences and challenging situations have taught her to be more careful about the people she surrounds herself with, trust her instinct and make her own decisions.
These lessons are an integral component of the international career and personal brand she continues to develop.
