My daughter said “Mummy, you know you’re an actual gangster” honestly, I think it’s my favourite compliment ever 🥹☺️🥰
Today’s the day! 💃🏾🎉🥳🍾🎊 I had the most amazing time playing Fake Jackie in the BBC’s comedy drama Just Act Normal. Working alongside such an incredible cast and crew made this a dream job—and the fact that I got to be a part of something this fresh, funny and powerful with Brum as the backdrop? Yeah, I was living my best life ☺️ Huge love to the stars of the show: @cheneeneeee , @akinssubair & @_kaydrah_ — each of you are unforgettable in this. Your presence, your performances, your energy… I remain in awe. And not forgetting our @kelise_gordon , your brilliance radiated both on and off screen—I adored working with you all ❤️❤️❤️❤️ It was such a joy playing co-D to @sambuchanan100 —you made every scene feel like play. You were so kind and generous, I appreciate you so much x And getting to be directed by the one and only @nathanielmartellowhite? That was next-level. His vision, patience and calm in the middle of inevitable storms 😩 was every actors dream—I was fan-girling and learning all at once x A special thank you to @kellielicorishmakeup , who transformed me into the formidable Fake Jackie each day. As so many of us know, the makeup room isn’t always the most welcoming place for Black women—but you made it feel like home. I appreciate you more than I can say ❤️ This project will stay with me for a long time. I’m so proud to be part of it. Let me know what you think when you watch! The show is available now on BBC iPlayer, and airs tonight on @bbcthree at 9pm—don’t miss it!

#TheAudacity to pretend they don’t exist 🌹
Today Téja does my voice over, sharing a small portion of my press day (I actually did about 10 interviews on this day 😩🤣) for the @bbc show “Just Act Normal” where I play the character Fake Jackie 😊 In this clip I visited my girlie @NadiaJae over at @bbc1xtra we had such a fun chat and have even began making the arrangements for our children to get married ☺️🤣 Also, I went to sit down with the gorgeous @AnayahUnique at @ReprezentRadio where I had such a great time, we spilled the tea and she even made me draw (spoiler alert I’m terrible 🤦🏾♀️🤣). Last stop of the day was a studio session with my guuurrrllllssss @sunsetdrver & @tamera – and dare I say it, we wrote a BANGER mate ☺️☺️☺️ Let me know what else you’d like to see, as I loved filming this day in the life for you ❤️ 📸🎥: @rayfiasco 👌🏾

Being a parent is one of the biggest blessings, but can come with a lot of pain for some mothers. The lessons passed down to us from our parents, it’s not until we reach that stage in life when becoming a parent, that we truly understand and get to decide ourselves whether we want to continue old traditions or start new ones.
