#1 Three females who inspire you and why?
My grandmother Sybil for always teaching me to be unapologetically myself.
Anna Nicole Smith, she really was a powerhouse who just wanted well for her children, despite her troubles.
Anna Shillinglaw, founder of MiLK Management. A friend and my agent who has created an inclusive movement within the UK’s modelling industry and makes you feel like you’re part of her family.
#2 What are you most proud of?
Starting up my movement #SelfLoveBringsBeauty and seeing how many people it has helped with their own confidence. It’s beautiful to watch.
#3 Whose advice do you always listen to?
I’m addicted to co – star and horoscopes and have the app for them daily. Sometimes I wait till midnight to see the advice and outlook for the next day.

Honestly, it’s so varied. Some days will be spent in pjs planning, another running around town like a lunatic trying to be on time for fittings and castings and another last minute packing before jumping on a flight.

Travelling, meeting new people and experiencing things I might have never dared to do.

A day to fully appreciated the power of what it means to be a WOMAN and how special we really are.
