A 23 years old Irinsanmi Eunice has showcased talent in a different form, designing a crocheted jacket forĀ the executive Governor of Lagos state.
This Governor Sanwo-Olu commended her for showcasing talent instead of trouble unlike others.
Sanwo-olu expressed, “Today, I received a thoughtful, handmade, custom crocheted jacket from 23 year old Irinsanmi Imisioluwa Eunice”.
It took her 168 hours, over 20,000 stitches, and six colours of yarn using just one crochet hook to bring it to life. But itās her story that truly stayed with me.
Eunice learned to crochet back in primary school. At one point, she dreamed of becoming a doctor, but life took her in another direction. She studied Home Economics, and during COVID lockdown, she leaned deeply into her love for crafting.
‘”I want every young creative in Lagos to know that your work matters. Your hands, your skills, your ideas, and your dreams are all part of what makes this state thrive.
Thank you, Eunice. I appreciate this gift, and Iāll wear it with pride”.
