Popular Food blogger, Dunni marks birthday with beautiful photoshoot

Top Nigerian food blogger, Dunni ofDooney's Kitchen was a year older a few days ago and she marked it by having a beautiful photoshoot.
The shot was taken by Gazmadu , while the make up was done by @harynola for@zainabazeez.

She further told an interesting story about her birth, read it below:

There's this old saying; "the way a child comes into this world can be a prelude into their personality". Big Oladunni will tell you that she was induced multiple times. Labour refused to progress. I was supposed to be an early Dec baby, but she got tired of being pregnant. Woke up on Nov 26 walked into her hospital & demanded to be induced because she had had enough. She was told to go call my father, but no one could reach him on a landline, yet she insisted she was going to deliver that day. Guess who showed her who's boss ��.

 I came when I was good and ready. Not a moment before. The Doctor said "madam, this your baby is stubborn o". Induced labour I have been told is really painful, so you can imagine what my delivery process was like. That tale followed me into childhood. You make me do what I am not ready to do & I would give you a lot of grief. I refused to sleep when babies slept. Wake me up to give me a bath and I will cry for hours on end, disturbing the whole house. "aromi ma we, ota pako" was my song.

 From potty training to feeding. My mother would start with, pleading, bribery, then threaten to smack & I would cry, eat some more and throw up. While she cleaned me up, I would be giving her the "good for you look" with my big eyes. I was not even 4yrs old. From learning to read, doing my sums, learning to swim & even cooking. I did it at my own pace. My mother & I have battle scars ��, but she has figured out, you don't pressure this one.

 It is a running joke between us, that Karma is doing press ups. But that's me. I dance to the beat of my own drums & they beat loud enough & guide my path aplenty. External pressures ain't got nothing on them. In a world where everyone wants you to do everything they are doing or what your "mates" are doing, I am glad I can say, I've been doing it mostly my way since 19 eighty something. 
 

I'm Oladunni Omotola Uchechukwu Amma Obata & no one else. Uchechukwu means God's Will. My grandfather knew something was up with this child ��. So here's to me & another year of taking control of my own life.
