Today I launch IG:TV on my instagram channel. You may have noticed that I haven't posted hair/ beauty videos in a while but that is because I was thinking of a way to still produce the content but on a better/ larger scale. I am not really into Youtube and don't know how realistic using…
Let's discuss My name is Olayinka Leigh-Catherine Bokinni. My name is the thing that defines me instantly, before you know anything about me.
