Jacqui and Georgia
Georgia: “Mum is very hardworking and she has instilled that in me. She’s given me the skills to achieve what I want but made it clear it won’t fall in my lap. We started modelling together during the pandemic. My sister and I are both signed models and our agency sent out a casting call for families. We booked a Christmas campaign together, then mum started getting all these requests, so my agency signed her, too. Usually, you don’t know anyone on set, so it’s a real comfort to have her there.”
Lekenah and Cairo
Lekenah: “I was always maternal – I have two little brothers and, in my culture, as the big sister you’re basically mum number two. My favourite part of being a mum is the responsibility of raising good people, it’s on me who they’re going to be, and, when they’re incredible adults, I’ll know I played a part in that. I want to ensure my children have a good relationship with their bodies, which is why I started on my own journey to be a happier, healthier version of myself, which I share on social media. I love the age Cairo is at – he’s so funny. We play chess, trampoline and do creative things together.”
