RARA AVIS: CREATIVE SPOTLIGHT! BAKARE MUBARAK.

Bakare Olalekan Mubarak.

Models are generally considered to be hangers and nothing more...but this young man, on whose shoulders drape the cloak of culture and tradition, is making unprecedented moves. 

While not adverse to other cultures, he canvases for his culture and naturally has become its ambassador.His leadership style is the torch bearer for a new breed of youths who are comfortable in their culture rather than exchange it for a foreign one.He is a custodian. A rare breed. 

Lanky, intelligent ,Influential and intriguing. He is socially adept. Standing at 6'8ft , Bakare Olalekan Mubarak ,23, is the tallest model in Sub-Saharan Africa. He is from the South West in Nigeria. Beneath his social butterfly aura is a determined deliberately Influential young man. An embodiment of a man on a mission. He is a model, an actor and an ex pageant king. He has walked on some major runways and also has been featured in numerous editorials.

A natural work of art; He was humorously referred to as one of the major exhibitions at Art X, a major art event recently held in Lagos, Nigeria. He was endorsed as the cultural ambassador of Nike art gallery, the largest art gallery in West Africa (not bad for someone who recently turned 23!). Some have described him as a masterpiece of art. He describes himself as a revolutionist.

 He is the founder of an initiative titled "Photo waka by Bakare Mubarak" a documentary travel photo gallery series; basically, a fusion of modelling and tourism aimed at promoting culture and unity in Africa through photo journalism.He is the recipient of not a few awards and has participated in many humanitarian projects.
