The event brought together aspiring and emerging models from across Oyo State and beyond, offering them professional grooming, industry exposure, and personal development — all completely free of charge.

The masterclass was led by Larry Walker, the renowned CEO of LAW Models Academy, widely respected as one of Africa’s foremost modeling coaches and talent developers. Through practical sessions, lectures, and live demonstrations, Larry shared decades of experience with the participants, equipping them with the skills, discipline, and mindset required to excel not only in modeling but in life.
“This isn’t just about fashion or the runway. It’s about identity, confidence, and turning potential into global opportunity,” Larry Walker remarked during the opening session.
The masterclass drew over 1,000 youth participants who joined through various online and live channels, demonstrating the rising interest in modeling as a career and tool for empowerment among young Nigerians.
A more intensive, physical workshop was also held for 20 shortlisted participants, who were selected for their commitment, potential, and passion. These individuals received hands-on training, professional polaroid photography sessions, and ultimately earned Certificates of Participation at the end of the 4-day bootcamp.
For many participants, this wasn’t just another event — it was a breakthrough.
“I never thought I’d get this far. This is more than a certificate; it’s a launchpad,” shared Esther O., one of the participants selected for international opportunity.
At Heal and Feed Life Care Foundation, we believe that empowering youth is not only about traditional education—it’s also about recognizing and nurturing creative, technical, and vocational talents. This initiative fits into our broader vision of supporting youth leadership, skill development, and economic empowerment.
The Ibadan Model Masterclass stands as a testament to what’s possible when communities, professionals, and nonprofits come together to build platforms for young people.
