Abuka Onuegbu Jonathan, aka Bigg Joo, is a model based in Austria who is now getting international recognition. He says he grew up watching shows like America’s Next Top Model. Shows like that made him wonder whether he would be a perfect fit for modeling. Ever since he was a kid, he wanted to pursue a career in modeling. He practiced the walk and how to carry himself. But he says he never thought someone of his body type could be a model.

However, his doubts did not stop him from pursuing his goals. He went ahead and chased his dreams. Now, modeling takes him around the world. Even though he is away from his family and friends most of the time, Bigg Joo loves his job. He would not change it for the world.

When you are passionate about it, then you forget about the hectic part said, Bigg Joo. Modeling has changed the way he views life. Traveling, learning about different cultures, and meeting new people has changed him. It had broadened his mind and given him an insight. He also shared that it has helped him to read people better.

When he learned about modeling Bigg Joo did not think he was the right size for modeling. But over the years, he honed his skill – he practiced the walk, posing, and his style. Now he has tried bridal, athletic wear, and lingerie shoots. He has also worked for popular brands like @menwithclass, @bestsecret, @Hannamartin.

Abuka Onuegbu Jonathan is just getting started in the industry. His inspiration includes famous models like Armando Cabral, Billy Huxley, Jeremiah Ogbodo, David Gandy, and Bryan Okwara. He wants to be like them and make his journey memorable.

Coco Glow Redefines Success on Natalie Massaro Terms

The American Dream whispers promises of opportunity, but for first-generation children, it can also carry a heavy weight of expectation. Natalie Massaro, the visionary behind Coco Glow, knows this firsthand. “There was an unspoken pressure to succeed,” Natalie explains. “Failure wasn’t an option.” This fueled a relentless work ethic in her – juggling two jobs while in school, a constant drive to excel that burned brightly within her.

This drive initially led the SheEO down a traditional path. But a different passion, simmering beneath the surface, tugged at her – a love for beauty and skincare. Stemming from her own experiences navigating body image as a woman with curves in a world often fixated on a single standard of beauty, Natalie knew there was a different narrative to be told.

It was a leap of faith, fueled by unwavering determination, which led Natalie to trade in the traditional path for entrepreneurship. in 2019, Coco Glow was born out of her Jersey Shore apartment. Today she has a staff of talented contour artists and is currently expanding into a second location. The recent introduction of teeth whitening hints at a future where Coco Glow offers a complete canvas for radiant beauty.

“Always find your why,” is Natalie’s mantra. Inspired by her parents’ unwavering work ethic, a constant reminder that “no one can fail if you are consistently showing up every day,” Natalie poured her heart and soul into Coco Glow. Entrepreneurship, it seems, runs in her blood. Her father’s success was a testament to the power of hard work and dedication, values that now echo in Coco Glow’s leadership. Her commitment to exceptional service is a direct reflection of the “show up every day” mindset.

A testament to the American Dream – reimagined for a new generation. It’s about defying expectations, forging your own path, and leaving your mark. It’s about finding your “why” and turning it into something beautiful, one sun-kissed client at a time. And witnessing the boost of confidence in each client who walks out the door is its own reward.

“Every client is understood, their wants and needs are adjusted to – your spray tan is the easiest part of your day” – perfectly represents her client-centric approach.
