The executive producer, Caterina Bortolussi explained to the audience that “the main different between Season 1 and Season 2 is the wider spectrum of talents and skills that were developed from campus to camp. This season is extremely rich with many moving stories from mentors and contestants.”
According to Mr. Diran Olojo of FCMB, “Dare2Dream is delivering messages that inspire the youth to be disciplined and focused on their lives’ objectives, whether it is in modeling, banking or any other line of work.” Mrs Tatiana Moussali of Cool/Wazobia TV added, “In February 2016, we launched a new channel, Wazobia Max that is available on terrestrial TV and reaches out to the largest audience, including young people at home. We really hope young people will identify and get motivated by watching Dare2Dream on our channel.”

Bola Fawehinmi, the D2D modeling trainer, shared her personal experience as a model. Bola, now running her own agency, Few Models Management, said, “Dare2Dream really inspired me. I also learnt a lot from the contestants. “Dare2Dream Season 1’s winner is the most-booked model at the moment. She has the right attitude and she is extremely professional which, for clients, count as much as her look.”
The two Dare2Dream finalists described their experience in camp, saying, “meeting so many inspiring celebrities we would have never had a chance to meet otherwise. Dare2Dream inspired us to make changes and take an active role in our life, in school projects or within our community.”
