The avant-garde fashion writer said she will not allow her circumstances to define her. She blogs on her personal website called My Vhantage Point. Idaka said that the love for fashion has always been in her family and it sure did not start from her. Unlike her family, her fashion commitment does not just centre on buying clothes. “In fact, I feel it’s hereditary because every family member likes clothes but I’ve always felt it shouldn’t just revolve around liking and buying clothes. “It should be more, but I couldn’t really think of the ‘more’ there, because modelling wasn’t an option, neither was fashion designing because I’m not really cut out for designing,” she said. She said should at a point in her life forgot about her love for fashion and went to school to study English and literary studies. Her love for fashion was again ignited in 2016 when a friend told her about how money can be made from blogging about fashion. “I eventually forget about my love for fashion and proceeded to study English and literary studies because of my love for novels.

“So in 2016, my friend tells me about this woman called Linda Ikeji, who makes her money off writing stories and news on the internet. “I’m overwhelmed by the thought of me actually choosing blogging as my career path, I mean I like behind the scene stuffs. “Later that year, my sister comes back from school and tells me about different kinds of blogging and that fashion blogging is a booming type blogging. And later when her sister told her about different fashion blogs online,” she said. The fashion blogger also said that have been suggestions by people that she should focus her blog on cerebral palsy, something she said no to. She said that the fact that she lives with the condition does not necessarily have to dictate what she blogs about, adding that she will succeed nevertheless.

“I was born with cerebral palsy and most times when I tell people I’m a fashion blogger, they’re shocked because it’s rare… Due to the condition, I’m slightly bent and have sensitivity issues therefore getting the right pose might be difficult sometimes but we will eventually succeed,” she said.

Idaka said that she hopes one day to write for top fashion magazines like Vogue, Glamour or Cosmopolitan, etc.
