Ogunmola was a participant in the 2013 Next Movie Star reality show. Her role in Okon goes to School has been cited as the first film in which she appeared professionally.
On being given roles, due to her physique rather than her acting skills, Ogunmola explained that her feminine figure, body language, the charismatic movement, and acting talents were all subsets of the universal her, and if one is viewed as more pronounced than another, it does not make her less valuable as an actor. For her role in Sobi's Mystic, she was listed as one of the five most promising Nollywood actresses by The News Guru.[5] In an interview with The Punch, she describes her double role as Aida/Mystic in the film as the most challenging in her career.
