Cairo Love Bio

There are some unspoken rules in the industry. Those unspoken rules are that models cannot be intelligent…models cannot be inventive…models cannot be innovative. Well it’s those very rules that have been broken since 2005 to show that models can be those very creative things without sacrificing their self worth.

Nkechi Ikediobi, also known as Cairo Love has made a name for herself quietly in the industry through conviction, hard work, go getter attitude, and perseverance. In a span of 4 years and extensive networking, relocating to various cities to further expose herself, Nkechi has been in some major avenues. Such include being in the BET celebrity weekend commercial in Jacksonville, fl, appearing in a L’Oreal commercial in Atlanta, modeling in the MAC cosmetics fashion show, and most recently being chosen to be one of Real Housewives of Atlanta, Lisa Hartwell’s model for the premiere of her clothing line Closet Freak, landing Nkechi a cameo on the second season of the Real Housewives of Atlanta. Nkechi has also hosted for Hot Block Magazine TV, Mayweather live show, and her own show University Lifestyles 101.

Born in Cairo, Egypt, Nkechi (Egyptian/Nigerian) was raised in Tallahassee, Fl under strict parents who also fostered a yearning for creativity and being cultural. After watching her siblings model for Elite, Nkechi too decided to go in that route. Upon graduating from high school and entering FAMU, Nkechi became a member of Images Modeling Troupe then began to branch out and seek others avenues. She quickly rose in rank as she became head model for VIP Marketing and Promotions under Jerome Turner. Afterwards Nkechi relocated to Atlanta, Orlando, and Miami in between her college career to network. Up to date Nkechi has done various print work for magazines and advertising materials, runway shows in which she coordinated one herself, promotional work for Crunkjuice and TjsDjs and TV hosting, her strong point, in which she performed impromptu on camera interviews with ease in Atlanta for various businesses under Bizclip.

Nkechi’s rare ethnicity, infectious personality and energized spirit make Nkechi a force to be dealt with and an exciting individual to partner with. Nkechi knows what’s right, is open to new things but most important, she knows how to make things happen. “It’s all about creating opportunities for yourself instead of waiting for doors to be opened for you”, says Nkechi. And that is the mantra she lives by to this day.
