She is currently a the Pre Nursing Program —an Associate of Arts degree holder from Oakland Community College.
Ada Ajonuma is also, a CNA and marketing specialist. She is thriving in and out of her dreams with exceptional feats in various fields.
She told us about her career, childhood and her life POV in the interview with Co.Hesive.
Cohesive magazine : Can you tell us about your upbringing and how it influenced your decision to become a model?
Ada Dcreator : I’d say my upbringing was model-based in its way. My mom always loved taking pictures of me—she would have me pose, smile, stand a certain way, try different looks—so I was her little model from the start. That early exposure to being in front of the camera planted the seed.
Cohesive magazine : Was there a specific moment when you realised modelling could be your career?
Ada Dcreator : Yes, absolutely. It was at my very first casting. I walked in, showed them what I could do, and I was immediately cast for a show. They saw my walk, they saw my potential, and I knew right then that I was made for this. That moment gave me the clarity and confidence to pursue it seriously.
Cohesive Magazine : How do you stay grounded while navigating the fast-paced, image-focused world of modelling?
Ada Dcreator : It can be a lot, but I have my ways. I work out regularly, spend quality time with my friends, and listen to Afrobeats constantly—it keeps me in my vibe. But most importantly, I stay organised with my digital planner. It holds everything: show dates, rehearsals, times, and reminders. Without that planner, I’d be lost. It keeps my world in order.
Cohesive magazine : What was your first big modelling job, and how did it feel stepping into that moment?
Ada Dcreator : It was a couple of years ago when I got cast for both a virtual show and a black-and-white themed fashion show by Gina T. Fashion. I wore a beautiful black and white dress, my makeup was done, I had fresh looks from head to toe—and I felt powerful. It was one of those moments where I just knew I was in the right place, doing what I was meant to do.
Cohesive magazine: What has been the most challenging part of your modelling journey so far?
Ada Dcreator : Honestly? The rehearsals. This year alone, I’ve had so many, I’d need both fingers and toes to count. With backup dates, changes, and different show formats—it’s easy to get mixed up. At one point, I was committed to three shows at the same time, with multiple rehearsals every week. It was intense, but I’ve learned how to handle it better now.
Cohesive magazine : How do you prepare for a major photoshoot or runway show—physically and mentally?
Ada Dcreator : I keep it simple and intentional. I stick to my workouts, and I avoid eating heavy meals before the shoot or show to avoid bloating. If I eat anything, it’s usually just fruit. I also try not to schedule any work shifts the day before so I can rest, pack my model bag, and mentally prepare. Rest is everything.
Cohesive magazine: Are there any causes or movements you’re passionate about and use your platform to support?
Ada Dcreator : Definitely. I use my platform to support things that are good for my community, my culture, and my people. I’m currently serving as the PR and a board member for UIU Detroit—Umu Igbo Unite. We’re a nonprofit Igbo-Nigerian community based in Michigan, focused on keeping our culture alive through events, education, and unity. That role means a lot to me.
Cohesive magazine: What do you think the modelling industry needs to change or improve?
Ada Dcreator : One big thing is giving newer faces a real chance. I’ve noticed a pattern—no matter how many people show up for castings or submit applications, the same models keep getting picked. It’s frustrating to go to a casting and see over 100 people trying to show their potential, only for the final lineup to be filled with familiar faces. So many talented individuals just need one opportunity to prove themselves. I also think the industry needs to respect models more—especially when it comes to timing and organisation. Sometimes it feels like we’re treated as if we’re not the ones people are coming to see, and that needs to shift.
Cohesive magazine: Who inspires you—in modelling or beyond—and why?
Ada Dcreator : Honestly, I didn’t start modelling because of any one person. It was more so seeing people post pictures, wear nice outfits, and pose confidently—and I thought, I can do that too. That’s how I’ve always moved, even with content creation and PR. I just see something I want to do, and I go for it. What’s wild is that now people come to me for inspiration. They say, “Ada, you’ve inspired me to model,” or “I’m so glad you’re doing content creation and PR—I want to do that too.” And hearing that from other people means everything.
Cohesive magazine : What’s next for you? Any goals or projects you’re excited about?
Ada Dcreator : Yes! I’ve been working behind the scenes with a few music artists, doing some creative direction and management. There are exciting projects on the way that I can’t wait to share. So for those who follow my page—stay tuned. This is just the beginning.
When “Pumped Up Kicks” hit the airwaves, circa 2010. It was the era of peak music, the kind of music that defines a generation. Iconic music festivals, concerts, and no-skip albums were norms in the music scene in this era. Pumped Up Kicks by Foster the People was one of the groundbreaking songs that enthralled an audience of different people, races, and cultures, even surpassing the language barrier.
A song of many stories, which also marked the beginning of a successful spell, earned nominations, the lingering weight of fame, and unreserved expression of life in beats, melodies, and music created. A life-altering experience for Mark Foster -the founder. Also, the audience, and probably, every living thing that existed in that time capsule.
After high school, Mark Foster moved to Los Angeles to stay with his Uncle, a decision encouraged by his Father. Spent years searching for that breakout song, while working various jobs including, jingle music writer. He lived through his struggle with drugs, near-misses, and a resurgence of the mind to the path he chose when he moved. These experiences led to the formation of the band, which has lived through an illustrious career of many twists.
In the fall of 2009, Mark met Mark Pontius and together they formed the band. Creating another thing in common, aside from first names. This fateful meeting birthed a singing group with lives intertwined in grit, hunger, journey to stardom, and achievements. On the 7th of October, 2009, they had their first show at the Dakota Live Music Lounge. An occurrence that became repeatedly bigger, when the band which included, Cubbie Fink released their breakout song Pumped Up Kicks. Foster wrote the song while he worked at Mophonics as a jingle writer, a song that would go on to change the trajectory of their career. By the summer of 2010, the band was performing at shows and festivals around the country. Filling iconic centres and sending raucous crowds into a delirium of excitement with joy, trickling down spines.
Debut album ‘Torches’ was a big success, arguably global. Songs from the album were TV licensed, Grammy-nominated, won awards and received positive reviews. The album resonated with the world, as it became a bane of emotions, mostly happiness. Became the album of an era, a generation of millennials’ favourite collection. Another factor in the album’s acceptance is their story of resilient rise to fame. A story of hope the people latched on, while dancing, humming and absorbing the album. Real encounters they’ve been vocal about in interviews.
Foster the People’s music mirrored not just its members’ lives, but every life that absorbed their music. Portraying a life of resilience, hope, comebacks and wins.
With 3 more albums to their debut, namely, ‘Supermodel’, ‘Sacred Hearts Club’, and recently, ‘Paradise State of Mind’. Singles and Extended Plays bolster a career that has always delivered widely accepted songs like ‘SHC’, ‘Imagination’ to mention a few. Different members have joined and left the group. Members have struggled with drugs and alcohol. Despite shortcomings, the band have retained the eclectic source of music which made them popular, delivering music that people love.
President Trump prides himself on being a peacemaker, an attribute he demonstrated in his first tenure, settling conflicts in the Middle East during his first term, relaxing America’s influence in the region, creating a vacuum for allies like Israel and Saudi Arabia to fill. He strongly believes that these power blocs can bring and maintain peace with little of America’s input, while he pursues his America First agenda at home.
Iran has been a stumbling block to this peace arrangement with its continuous nuclear enrichment, while Trump maintains that Iran will never be allowed to be a nuclear weapon powerhouse, calling for its nuclear disarmament, while offering deals that the Iranian regime has constantly rejected.
Iran has been accused of sponsoring terrorism in the region, especially against Israel using proxy terror groups. On the 13th of June, Israel launched “Operation Rising Lion” conducting airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear and missile infrastructure. A move that has provoked a retaliation from the Iranian regime hours later with the extent of the damage still being assessed.
The world has been on the edge since this conflict, agitated about what will be next. Israel is boasting of America’s alliance, constantly supplied with weapons and defence systems that have worked, as witnessed during the Israel-Palestine conflict. As tensions precipitate, the divide will be glaring, and countries will align with different sides. The world fears that this might be the conflict which commences World War 3 as European countries like France and the UK have pledged their support for Israel.
Getting good grades in college seems difficult to college students but there are tips to make you better at obtaining good grades. My experience as a college student made me realize that getting remarkable grades is easy if you can follow these tips—whether you are a first-year student, junior or a senior, whether at a community college or a large university. These tips are comprehensive.
If you are having a tough time with grades and want to take your grade point average to a better level, consider these tips and see how effective they are.
To begin with, about 80 percent of college students tend to miss classes, a lot of students skip classes for one or more reasons. This attitude sometimes comes from being lazy or just a habit that was formed due to peer pressure or procrastination. Attendance in class is the very first point that helps with boosting grades. Moreover, this is far beyond going to lectures only, there are multiple reasons why you should be in classes:
Getting to know your professor and mastering them is particularly important in succeeding in a course. Every professor with their personality and principles, creating relationships with them in the early stage of the semester helps to know what they want. Most professors will hand over the course syllabus and deadlines and requirements at the beginning of the semester. It is your duty to make sure you understand the course expectations. Relating with professors on a personal level by sending emails, visiting them during office hours or in class discussions after class is equally important. Communicating your struggles with professors will make them understand how to help you to do better in the classroom.
You might be someone who loves to live spontaneously, rather than being judging, but staying current with due dates, course calendars will be of significant help in avoiding missing important assignments, quizzes, tests, and exams. You can use a planner or a personal calendar in keeping track of important dates and deadlines. Keeping class materials, old homework, class tests and any given handouts organized also helps with future studies for exams and tests.
Time doesn’t wait for anyone, even if you don’t procrastinate. Try to make the best use of your time and be wise with things you do with your time because time lost can never be regained. A lot of students are involved in unprofitable meetings and associations that take away their precious time that is needed to tackle school activities, plan your breaks and study time. Learn to cancel any activities that are not adding value to your personal life or your college life. Always remember the quote “all work no play makes jack a dull boy” try to create time for rest and for play in equal proportion as needed.
Create a study habit and study as much as possible. It is not necessary to study for 1 hour straight, create a convenient study plan, it can be few minutes in different periods of time. Use distributive practice when studying, break your study into short sessions over a longer period. You can decide to have two 30-minute sessions over two days or more depending on what is comfortable for you. Know what study environment and workspace is best for you, some like to study alone while others like to study in groups. Find what works best for you and stick to it. Create some questions to test yourself when you study, which will help you take tests and exams.
In conclusion, following these tips will help your grades improve drastically. Every professor’s goal is to see you excel in their courses and have good grades, see your professor as your friend and not your enemy. Self-discipline will help you a lot in following these tips and achieving your goal of having good grades.

1. CAMRYN RICH
[Q] Kindly give a small details with an intro about you , why you chose volleyball , what motivates you on the pitch ,your role model and your advice to the up and coming volleyball women players ?
Hi! My name is Camryn Rich, I am a 5th-year senior from Louisville,Kentucky! I graduated with a double major in Psychology and Communication and I am now pursuing a masters in Sports Management! I chose to play volleyball when I was a little girl! My mom played in high school so I always wanted to try it out. I starting playing in the 6th grade and I have loved it ever since. The sport has truly made me a strong and confident woman. I have learned so much through the sport and the years I have played. I am constantly motivated by my teammates on the court. I love playing with people who work hard and I feed off of their energy and success. My role model is 100% my mom she is the person I aspire to be. She is truly amazing and shows me what a strong woman is every single day. My advice to incoming volleyball players is to enjoy the ride. The ride will not always be sunshine and rainbows but you will learn so much about yourself through the process and meet amazing people along the way.
2. ITZANN ROJAS
[Q] What can you tell us about yourself? why you chose Football? what motivates you? your role model? and your advice to the up and coming football women players?
Hi, my name is itzaan rojas, I’m currently a sophomore double majoring in Sociology and Spanish and playing flag football. I had always wanted to play football but I couldn’t because I was a girl. In high school I would hang out with the football team and I go to their weightlifting sessions. As soon as I heard about flag football for females I knew it was my chance. Ultimately, when I signed, I had made not only school history, but also state history by being the first female in the state of Kentucky to receive a scholarship to play collegiate flag football.
Ever since that moment, I have pushed myself to become a person that leaves a legacy and inspires and motivates.
My advice to future female flag football players would be to take that chance and be authentically you while you do it. Every female has the potential of greatness on or off the football field. I’m doing this for my little sisters, every young girl, and every older woman that never got to play football. Every time I step on that field , I think about them
3. CLARA ASPRELLA
[Q] we’ve seen your passion towards Tennis, can you briefly describe yourself and why you chose Tennis, what motivates you, your role model and your advice to the up and coming tennis women players?
Hi! My name is Clara Asprella and I’m a currently sophomore at Campbellsville University. I’m majoring in film and I’m part of the women’s tennis team. Tennis is the sport I have been playing for the past 15 years of my life. Even though it is an individual, challenging and hard sport, every time that I’m in a tennis court, I feel safe. Of course there are times that you just want to quit and go home, but that is when you need to fight and overcome those obstacles. Have a strong mind, be positive and have good people by your side is going to help you be a better person and succeed in life.
4. KAYLA KUEBBE
[Q] Standing out in the basketball team makes our team curious about who you are, your passion for the basketball, why you chose it, your role model, what motivates you and your advice to the up and coming basketball women players
Hey everyone! My name is Kayla Luebbe. I am a 5th year senior from Bee, Nebraska. I transferred to Campbellsville at the beginning of last year. I have my bachelor’s degree in accounting and am currently working on my MBA. Basketball has been a passion of mine ever since I was little and I chose to play college basketball to pursue that passion even further. I’ve been playing basketball for many years now and have learned so much, met so many new people, and had so many fun experiences from the sport. What motivates me is my inner drive to be the best version of myself every day and my goal to always be the hardest worker in the room. I want to do everything I can to help my team succeed and have some fun along the way. This drive is increased this year especially since it’s my last year and I want to do everything I can to help my team win a national championship. It’s always been a dream of mine! My role models are my parents. I think of all the ways they have sacrificed for me over the years and done everything they can to make sure I got to play the sport I love. They have pushed me to be a better player, person, and woman. They truly are my biggest fans and I want to be that for my kids someday. My advice to younger basketball players is to challenge yourself constantly. You will find that you can achieve way more than you think you can!
Your sport will throw hard situations and challenging aspects at you constantly, but facing those challenges head-on is how you will learn and grow the most! When you give your all to the game, it will give back to you

Inspired by the average person coming to the gym , Damien Cole, from Tucson, Arizona has been an athlete since he was 4, he has been trying multiple sports . Collegiately, he came to Campbellsville University for volleyball but he quits this senior year due to injuries, his values are family, God, himself and all his peers around him .
In the following interview, Damien explains how he achieved a great body and how he intends to further his career.
[Q] Can you tell us something about your journey in bodybuilding/Fitness ?
I’ve been working out my whole life. I remember for Christmas when I was 11 years old, My parents got me a pull-up bar for my door. I remember before bed I would do those six minute ab videos that every teenager would do. I was on and off in the gym, but never fully committed as I am now. When I came to CU as a freshman, I weighed at 167.9 pounds, and now as a senior, I stand at 203 pounds. A 30+ pound increase. It has been trial and error through numerous injuries. In 3 years I have had a surgery on each wrist and have torn both of my knees. However, I come to the gym every day, wanting more out of myself, making sure I’m better than who I was yesterday.
[Q] What would you consider as the most cherished moment in bodybuilding/fitness?
I believe my most cherished moment in bodybuilding was when I had my first 6 pack. I know it may seem silly, however, achieving a toned six pack is harder than you think. Having a six pack was a dream of mine since I was 10, and to finally see that happen one day in the gym after a workout, I knew I was taking the next step in my fitness journey.
[Q] Whom do you consider your role model in body building ?
My role models right now in bodybuilding is the average person coming into the gym. Because as someone that started very small and inexperienced I know how hard it is to come into the gym every day to work on yourself when you know people are better looking than you. I look at past pictures of myself and what I used to be and I’m so grateful for the peers around me in the gym working as hard as I am. Keep working everyone!
[Q] Tell us about some of your favorites work out at the gym and why you enjoy doing such works outs ?
My favorite workouts in the gym right now have to be leg workouts. In the last year, I’ve torn both of my knees and have completely had to restart on my lower body bodybuilding progress. Because my legs are very limited from my knees, I perform squats, leg extensions, hamstring curls, and calf raises in my leg day. 4 movements that target each main muscle group in the legs. Can’t beat it!
[Q] Would you be willing to give any tips or suggestions on fitness and bodybuilding for the readers of our magazine?
Consistency- it doesn’t matter if you do an intense 2 hour workout session. Nor does it matter if you do a 20 minute Zumba dance session. If you come to the gym expecting results after one day, you will see nothing. And after a week, you will see nothing. Biologically it takes about three months to see physical improvement after exercising consistently. so please keep going and stay motivated.
Nutrition-what you put in your body does matter, if you eat junk food, and have unhealthy habits of drinking soda, or a lot of sweets for example, that will affect your gains. Please fill your body as needed and treat yourself with a well-balanced diet, as you will see it return the favor in your fitness improvement
What is your why?- you have to have a “why” when you come to the gym, you have to walk in understanding that you are about to break down your body to make something more. But what are you doing it for? Are you doing it for good health? losing weight ? getting stronger? mentally challenging yourself? Once you understand your “why” you will becomes successful in anything that you do .
[Q] Thank you for your time Damien , I’m sure you will achieve all your goals. Would you like to thank anyone ?
Thank you so much to my peers, family, and my darling girlfriend Kaylee for supporting me through this journey; and of course I’d like to thank myself for being disciplined and making fitness a daily routine for myself.
