Biography
EARLY LIFE
Vandora Vandora, whose full name is Vanessa Williams, is the first of five children, all girls. She had her elementary and junior high school education in Nigeria before moving to South Africa at the age of 15. In South Africa, she attended Table View High School in Cape Town and later proceeded to AAA School of Advertising, Cape Town, where she earned a degree in Marketing Communications with a major in Brand Management. She mentioned that she was at her lowest when she failed her second year at university, but that misfortune turned into her highest point when she finally graduated from advertising school.
CAREER
While in school in South Africa, Vanessa worked as a model, hostess, and waitress. Upon returning to Nigeria, she initially did not pursue a career in marketing. Instead, she worked under her cousin, a producer at Sleek City Empire, which sparked her interest in production and presenting on projects. She later lost her job, and this led to her participation in Big Brother Nigeria. Her family was initially shocked but eventually supported her decision. She viewed her time on Big Brother Nigeria not as a competition to win, but as an avenue for adventure and fun. Since Big Brother Nigeria, she has become a presenter and the host of the television show 'Our Perfect Wedding Nigeria'.
PERSONAL LIFE
Vandora stated that she used to care what people said about her, especially after coming out of the Big Brother house, but she has since overcome this. She believes that with increased fame come greater challenges. Her mother is her primary role model, admired for being hardworking and sacrificial, and for teaching her the meaning of love. She also looks up to Bolanle Olukanni, Toke Makinwa, and Mo Abudu. The craziest rumor she has heard about herself is that she has children, which she denies. Her hobbies revolve around beauty, including make-up and skincare. She also enjoys watching television and relaxing in cool, air-conditioned places with Netflix and plenty of food.
