I was self-conscious of being so lanky, of being me. I'd keep my head down, make excuses not to go out. I'd look in the mirror and hate myself. I thought I was disgusting. I cried constantly from 11 to 16. If I could tell my younger self anything, it would be to learn to love your flaws. It's OK to look in the mirror and feel really confident about yourself.

I like seeing how I can look in a photo.

I find it weird when [model] agents say, 'You're the only black girl booked for the show. Isn't it great?' Why is it great?

My favourite types of cuisine are Asian and Caribbean, and I love cooking new recipes for my family.

When I go back into education, I'm going to do business studies.

I'm a mum. Cooking is something I have to do. It's something I like to do.

I always get so excited cooking chicken wings.
