Africa’s first truly inclusive commercial modeling agency, Misty Glam Company, is marking a groundbreaking milestone this month as the modelling agency celebrates its second anniversary.

The celebration is more than just another year of success, the firm said in a statement. Misty Glam noted that it represents two years of pioneering inclusivity in an industry where stereotypes and conventional norms have long held sway.

“Misty Glam Company has been a trailblazer since its inception, challenging industry norms and redefining beauty standards. In an era where diversity and inclusivity are more critical than ever, this modeling agency has set itself apart by representing a diverse range of individuals.

“Our mission is clear: to provide a platform for people of all colors, ages, and body types to embark on modeling careers.

“What distinguishes Misty Glam Company is our dedication to showcasing unconventional beauty. In an industry that has traditionally prioritized certain aesthetics, this agency has broken down barriers. We proudly represent models with albinism, wheelchair models, physically challenged models, models with dwarfism, aged models, plus-sized models, models with tribal marks, and various other unconventional types,” is added.

However, Misty Glam’s journey has not been without challenges. In an industry that has been slow to embrace inclusivity, they’ve faced resistance from brands and companies that are reluctant to break free from conventional beauty standards.

While their commitment to celebrating diversity has been a breath of fresh air for many, the agency still grapples with stereotypes that need to be shattered. They strive to prove that beauty knows no bounds and that representation matters.

It acknowledged the journey: “In just two years, Misty Glam Company has managed to bring about a significant shift in the African modeling industry. They have made a statement that has resonated with many, turning the agency into a symbol of progress, empowerment, and breaking stereotypes. The agency’s influence extends well beyond the catwalk, reaching into the hearts of individuals who are beginning to feel seen, appreciated, and accepted.”

As Misty Glam Company celebrates their second anniversary, they are setting their sights on an even brighter and more inclusive future. Their ongoing mission is to prove that beauty is not confined by societal norms. They are dedicated to fostering an environment where diversity is celebrated and where everyone can find their place in an industry that has often seemed exclusive.

Through Misty Glam’s journey, the world is reminded that diversity is not a trend; it’s a reality. Owolabi Misturah Abisola and her team at Misty Glam Company are daring to be different, and their unique vision is reshaping the African modeling industry for the better.
