I’ve known Tolu since our college days at University of Houston ,and ever since then I remember her being this goofy young lady with elegant signature gap in between two front her teeth.

Tolu is still a fun loving young lady, the only thing that has changed is her partner in crime enjoys her antics and sometimes partakes in them.

Once he opened up it was apparent why this two had chosen each other. They love to laugh, and they love each other.

The black background made their outfits and skin tones jump right out at you.
