- Never
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I never would have dreamt in a million years that I would have young girls coming up to me at Glastonbury or on the streets of L.A., New York, London, and telling me how much GurlsTalk or seeing my picture in a magazine means to them, as a woman of colour.
- Look

- Nov 07, 2020
How can our industry better represent the reality of our larger community and provide our next generation a proper example of what they see around them every single day? This representation should also look beyond race and include those of all body types, religion, sexuality, and gender identification.

- Nov 07, 2020
I think if you don't like being in your skin, it doesn't matter how many times people say you're beautiful, how many jobs you get, or whatever it is - I just didn't want to be Adwoa.
- Loyalty
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Even when I first started modeling, my loyalty to those girls like Molly Goddard, Ashley Williams, and Dilara Findikoglu was important. I like to support them as much as I can. For me, it's as important to walk in their show or wearing their clothes as it is doing a Marc Jacobs show.
- Done
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've been really lucky with the shows that I've done and the diverse line-ups I've been included in.

I really, really need community.

I did not know how to share with someone the fact that I was really, really depressed.
- Moment
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The bit that I've always loved about modeling is show season: the hype, the chaos, the calm just before you walk out. It's your moment - especially when there's no one before you.
- I Think
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm not the tallest or the thinnest - and I think being in shows is a major part of when I stopped second-guessing myself.
- Fashion
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I used to get scouted outside of Topshop and stuff, and I was brought up in the fashion industry and did a few shoots when I was young, which was always fun to get dressed up.
- Cool
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In 2017, there is more than one way to be beautiful and more than one way to be cool. And when you put an image on the cover of 'Vogue,' that means something that goes beyond fashion.
- Long

- Nov 07, 2020
I've learned to appreciate looking unique and not having long, blond locks... at last.
- Know

- Nov 07, 2020

- Nov 07, 2020
I always think, what I would have thought of something like Gurls Talk would have come into my school? Or how would I have felt if I'd heard there was this one-day festival happening in London? I think I'd have definitely gone, I started Gurls Talk because it was everything that I needed at school.
- Hard Time
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I had a hard time in high school.
- Health
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
No one had ever educated me on mental health. I really didn't understand why I would be feeling high on life, and everything was brilliant, and then suddenly I would be crashing into a deep hole.
- Believe
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I always believed that I had to pretend to be happy. But what I've learned is that it doesn't matter what race or class or demographic you come from. I truly believe that sadness is relative.
- Inspire
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Women and girls inspire me. They drive me.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was privileged in terms of where I grew up, and I come from a very loving, supportive household. But when I began to go off the rails at boarding school, my behaviour wasn't a result of an upbringing but more something that was going on within me.
- Book
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In the digital age, there is a new rule book for romance.
- Deep
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In the digital age, there are a million and one ways to find out what someone you fancy is doing - but remember, they can see when you're watching their Instagram stories. If you fall deep into a hole of snooping, resist flicking through the digital diaries of their exes, or at least learn to cover your tracks.
- Social Media
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When you want someone to notice you, there's one fail-safe way of making sure that they do: by plastering pictures of yourself across social media. Your motive might seem obvious, but so what?
- Nothing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
A sexy selfie can be incredibly empowering - but remember that, while a Snapchat message might expire, nothing on the Internet truly disappears.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Marc Jacobs Beauty is really exciting for me; when I was at school, I would always struggle to find make-up that suited my skin tone, and I certainly wouldn't find anything from a luxury brand. I'm glad that girls don't have that problem anymore.
- Been
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've always been obsessed with fashion.
- Community
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
2014 was a terrible year for me. I got a lot of help from psychiatrists, doctors, and my family, but also from group therapy. I met people from so many different backgrounds, and we were all able to relate to each other. It felt like a real community, and I stole that concept for Gurls Talk.
- Job
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Without social media, I wouldn't have young girls messaging me from Australia or Mexico City or the Midlands, but I do wonder if I'd be on it if it wasn't part of my job.
- Like

Like anyone else, I can fall into these massive Instagram holes and start comparing myself to other people.
- Best
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There are times when you're being judged on your appearance and you're not feeling your best self. It hurts, but as I always say, I try and be 100 percent myself all the time. So if I'm rejected, it just hurts that little bit less because at least I was myself.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When you talk, you realize that the pains and worries you feel are universal; you no longer feel alone in your sadness. You relate and find comfort in the fact that there are other women going through the same things as you are.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It has to be something people prioritize - it should be the number-one priority: representing all types of beauty, all types of shapes and sizes.

- Nov 07, 2020
I don't think the people in power realize how detrimental it can be to a way a girl looks at herself if she flips through a magazine and only sees one type of woman.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
One of my aunties inspires me beause of how easily she shows her emotions, and she isn't ever afraid to cry. My mum, for her work ethic - she might not show her emotions in public very much, but she's a total power woman. My grandma, who watched four of her children die before her, she's a powerhouse.
- Everyone
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's not a secret - I'm literally one of the best dancers in the world! I mean, not everyone would necessarily agree with that.
- Attention
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm a bit of an attention seeker, so I'm always looking for a table or some height to get up on and dance.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've got a lot of jewellery that I love - whether it costs a pound or whatever, it's all precious to me.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't feel guilty about any of my pleasures.
- Gymnastics
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I wish I could be good at gymnastics.
- Activism
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's about cultural forums and movements and collectives of people taking a stand. That's all activism is.
- I Can
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've been lucky enough to have been given a platform through modeling, so now I can use it as an activist.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have a very bad memory. So I would like a chat bot to just remind me of everything I forget. I spend my entire life on Google trying to remember stuff.
- Love
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I wear trainers everywhere. Weddings, parties, definitely red carpets and fashion events. It's bad. And listen, I love shoes. I love high heels. But I buy trainers all the time.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think losing out on jobs and, you know, being judged on your appearance... I definitely grew a second skin and got used to it, but more so now, I've realised it definitely contributed to a lot of things I feel about myself.
- Daughter
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Because I would be around so many people in the fashion industry, there's this kind of dialogue. People would always say, 'Oh your daughter is so beautiful. Is she a model?' And it was so strange for me to hear because I felt so not beautiful inside.
- Nov 07, 2020
Until I was about 14, I was so shy.
- Diversity
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The most amazing thing for me is when I open up a magazine and I see someone I could be friends with and looks, maybe, slightly like me. And I think that's the same with young girls. Because there needs to be diversity.
- Hair
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In private school, I definitely judged myself against the lighter-skinned girls. I wanted to have different hair. I wanted to fit in. I thought that was more beautiful.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I knew that modeling could open doors, and I would be able to travel and forge my own path. Being able to support yourself is amazing, and I think that was one of the things that appealed to me, but I didn't want to be in front of the camera at first.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Emotions were never the most important thing when I was at school; it was all about academics and this constant performance of pretending that you're okay and getting on with life.
- Feeling
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I came from a privileged background, which I am entirely grateful for, but it played a part in my feeling that I couldn't complain about my own emotions.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Boarding school was a really pivotal moment. Before I went there, I was so happy. I'm not sure I was ready for it. I was only 13. My parents didn't send me away; it was my choice as well. But I definitely shouldn't have stayed for five years.
- Isolation
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My go-to protective thing is isolation. It's turn off the phone, don't speak to anyone, lie in bed all day, and then maybe go out at night and do the same thing over again.
- Live
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
One day at a time. I live by that.
- Fear
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Fear has run rampant amongst our community of models. Far too many young models, both women and men, are mistreated and put at risk.
- Amazing Things
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
What I would say to anyone who wants to be a model is, have something else. This shouldn't be your be-all and end-all in life: there are so many other amazing things to be done in the world. I also think that the industry really celebrates a woman who does something else. So keep at it, but always have something else.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The worst thing to do when I'm feeling insecure or a bit vulnerable is to scroll through Instagram. You only show when life is good on social media. Everyone looks happy all the time.
- Day
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I went to a school where the girls that were found attractive were the complete opposite to me. I judged my worth on how many boyfriends everyone had, and I wanted to jump out of my skin every second of every day.
