A heartwarming story unfolded on TikTok between Nigerian actress Adunni Ade, her mother, Emily Faye, and US influencer Mikayla Nogueira.
Adunni travelled to the US to visit her mother in the hospital. They were just making random videos together in the hospital, but in one of them Emily mentioned that she loves and would like to have Mikayla Nogueira’s Point of View (POV) lip kits. Mikayla is a popular US influencer and founder of the POV beauty brand. 
Adunni says she also follows and loves Mikayla. Soon, her TikTok followers, moved by her mother’s humour and fighting spirit despite being very sick, rallied around and tagged Mikayla in posts.
It was a Christmas miracle because she swiftly responded. In a private video to Aduuni, Mikayla said she loved the video of Adunni and her mother and said she was grateful she knows so much about her brand. She said many of her friends responded quickly, promising to send a box of lip kits and $10,000.
The gift made Adunni and her mother “so happy and grateful”, as Emily Faye has had a tough year, battling illness and the death of her son this past year.

For context: Adunni’s mother has been sick for a while, and Adunni is always sure to visit her and celebrate her birthday. Did you also know Adunni Ade has a white mother? The actress was born in Queens, New York, to her German-Irish mother and a Yoruba Nigerian father, though she did her primary and secondary in Nigeria before moving back to the United States and then back to Nigeria again to pursue her acting career.
