Committed to Beauty

Constantly belittled as a child, ugly duckling Ella Obetaâ€™s dream is to one day become a beauty queen- especially after she falls in love with Meya, the boy who defended her from a bully years ago, but who doesnâ€™t even remember her.

In her second year in university, her childhood dream becomes a reality when she wins a modelling contract. She excitedly moves abroad to start her modelling career, but when a disturbing incidence occurs barely a month after she arrives, she becomes disillusioned. Consequently, she plunges into a hedonistic lifestyle all the while navigating runway shows and fashion campaigns around the world. However, after a devastating personal loss, as well as heart-wrenching news from back home, she quits and returns to Nigeria. There, she focuses on winning Meyaâ€™s love, but her efforts seem futile.

Spanning three decades and four continents, Committed to Beauty is one girlâ€™s painful search for love, acceptance, and beautyâ€¦.in all the wrong places.
