When I first heard of Celai West, I did a double-take. Apart from being a model, Celai is an actress and a CEO of a t-shirt company called The Chatty Chick. Who won’t be befuddled by a model with a successful career in print and runways, who is ten years old?
This little melanin queen gave us life on the @Stylefw runway. #WE just love seeing young influencers like 10-year-old @CelaiWest exude such boldness. She is modeling her way into the hearts of many as an advocate for natural beauty. pic.twitter.com/p4OxeJAx3r

Celai has actually been modelling for a while now. She has also been in a couple of short films as well as commercials, educational, promotional and music videos.
Her game in the modelling industry has been likened to the greats, and it is clear to everyone who sees Celai strut a runway that we are looking at the future of modelling. The incredible thing is that Celai is still upgrading. Look at her at the Style Fashion Week in 2018;

Her class, grace, sass and strut are forceful yet graceful. This bossy lass is indeed remarkable to watch. As usual, there have been reactions to this. Most of them are positive and encouraging. See some below;

The important thing to note is that Celai West is an inspiration to all. If a ten-year-old girl can break into the cut-throat world of fashion, what’s stopping you pursuing your dreams?
