The Guinness world record breaker for long dance individual, Odumewu Deborah Sunmisola a.k.a Pinki Debbie has described her mum as the ‘ginger’ or driving force behind her at a recent media chat.

She also said “her mom loves dancing too. She encourages me when doing street dance competitions, school choreography and others.”

Pinki Debbie, the first born of four children, said she started dancing fully while she was in the university in 2011.

“I joined a dance group ‘Reflection’,” said Pinki Debbie who hails from Ogun State.

“I wasn’t a professional dancer as at then but I knew I could dance well.”

She also revealed how she started getting the attention from fans in 2013 when she started posting videos online before she became a professional dancer in 2016.
