Single mom dropped out of School



When I was going to write JAMB

My name is Deve Perpetual, and behind my smile is a story of resilience. I am a proud single mother, a young woman who refused to let life’s challenges define her.


There were days when I felt the weight of the world on my shoulders, raising my child alone while trying to chase my dreams.


Many people expected me to give up, to shrink my dreams to fit my struggles but instead, I chose to rise.


Modeling became more than just walking in heels or posing for cameras. For me, it became a platform to prove that a woman can be both a nurturing mother and a fearless dream-chaser.



Every step I take on the runway is a reminder that I am not just walking for myself I am walking for every mother who has ever been told she cannot achieve more.


My journey hasn’t been easy, but it has been worth it. Being a single mom taught me strength, patience, and unconditional love.


It also gave me the fire to push for something greater whether it’s building businesses, creating opportunities for others, or stepping boldly into pageantry.


I want my story to remind people that dreams don’t die because of circumstances.



They grow stronger when we refuse to give up. And I stand today, not as a victim of my past, but as a woman rewriting her future.
