Lola has been part of several fashion show and exclusive Red carpet events from around the world; USA, Canada and Africa. And now owns her Television Show, "Kairos Moment". She spoke to ThisDayLive.

As a stylist, how would you describe your relationship with Hollywood celebrities?
My relationship with my clients is cordial. Most recently, I had the opportunity to work with Malik Yoba, who is the lead actor of the Tyler Perry Movie Titled ‘Why Did I get Married’ and The legendary Tommy Lister. However, I see all my clients as celebrities; because I celebrate all of them.  I hope to work with many more entertainers - people like Oprah Winfrey, and Tyler Perry. When it comes to fashion, the list is also endless. I must add that I am also investing in working with people who are not celebrities but who have great sense of vision and passion for success. Here at home, I commend Mo Abudu on the tremendous work she has done thus far with Ebony Life TV. I am a firm believer in women supporting other women. Although my first degree is in a science discipline, I always had passion for arts and entertainment industry. It has always been at the back of my mind to return full time into the industry.

What’s your television show called Kairos Moments all about?
Kairos is a Greek word that defines the realization of a dream. Therefore, this show will inspire the audience to recognize their opportunity and bring their dreams to fruition. Listening to successful people, professionals, artisans and all who have succeeded in what they do will give the same opportunity to other listeners who will pick up one or two things from interviews aired. Most opportunities are missed because, people are either unable to recognize their ‘Kairos Moments’ or they are too discouraged to rise up and forge ahead. The joy of learning about a breakthrough in one’s life while being entertained is a priceless feeling that we intend to pass across through the show.
