GABRIELLE NANA ABA G. (GABBY)
Gabrielle, aka Gabby was born on August 18th 2005 in Lawrenceville, Georgia. She is the older of two children born to Ghanaian parents. There is a lot to write about this fashionista-in-training but we will make it brief…… She insists however, that word be told “she is smart and remembers everything from when she was a baby” which is actually very true! LOL! She has a strong interest in fashion and is very excited about the show because this will be her first kids’ fashion show.
Gabby loves reading, shopping with mummy, music, basketball, playing with her little sister and the list goes on…… When she grows up she wants to be what she calls a “model doctor”, a model and a doctor at the same time…… Her favorite food is Jollof rice (a very delicious Ghanaian traditional delicacy) with chicken. Oh and by the way, she loves, loves, loves Cinderella!
AVA-MIRRE O-A
Ava-Mirre was born on October 14th 2007, in Atlanta, Georgia. Her parents’ pet name for her is “pumpkin”. Her favorite cartoon character is hmmm, now that’s a hard one. She actually likes every princess in the cartoon planet! Yes, and she knows and can recognize each and every single one of them. If you asked her which princess was her favorite, it would clearly depend on the day you asked her and how she felt that day. She’s the big sister to our next KK kid – Kelton-Pierce. She is the first born child born to parents who hail from the land of Gold - Ghana. Kids-say-the-darnest-things phrase: “Mom, quit that already!!” Her favorite song is Willow Smith’s ‘Whip my hair’ and Wix Khalifa’s ‘Black and Yellow’. And yes, she’s very much into fashion. She loves to shop with mummy and pick out her own clothes and mind you everything she wears has to color coordinate.

KELTON-PIERCE O-A Kelton-Pierce was born on June 14th 2010, in Atlanta, Georgia. He has a couple pet names…KP, Kels, Pumpkin, Juicy, Kel Kel and the list goes on. His favorite cartoon character is hmmm, now that’s a tough one too because he is very indifferent…….He is the second and last (I must stress!) child born to parents who also hail from the land of Gold - Ghana. His favorite color is green (on behalf of his mummy, lol!) and he just loves to smile and laugh. Kids-say-the-darnest-things phrase: Kelton-Pierce is yet to utter his first words but it appears he will be a talker…just like his sister! Kelton-Pierce favorite thing to do is pick himself up from the floor onto his feet, unassisted that is, raise his hands and dance! Oh and by the way, they refer to him as the ‘dance machine’ at school. Hmmm, wonder where he got that from? Lol!

CHRISTOPHER-ETHAN G-W.
Ethan was born on December 17th 2007, in Atlanta, Georgia. He tends to go by ‘Spidey’ (as in Spider Man). His favorite cartoon character is Iron Man. He’s the first born and only child born to parents who hail from Ghana in West Africa.
Interesting event that happened with him - so one fine day he gets his normal ‘Mohawk’ haircut session from his dad. Once the task was completed, Ethan finds his way straight to the bathroom mirror. He takes a look at himself and gives a smirk. Then he proceeds to pat his hair down on the sides so as to make the ‘cone’ area of his Mohawk a bit sharper, for the lack of a better term. Gives himself thumbs up and proceeds to be content with his look. When asked what he was doing, he says, “Well daddy told me how Astro Boy wears his hair and I think he’s so cool so I want to be that cool too so I have to get the hair right”

EWURESI A.A. (RESI)
Ewuresi is an only child born to Ghanaian parents. She is an Independence baby; born on the 4th of July. At 6 years of age she is very mature. I jokingly say she is 6 going on 16! Resi is smart, outgoing, fun loving with a really good heart. She can be shy at times but quick to warm up once she gets comfortable with her surroundings. She has a hilarious sense of humor which never seizes to amaze me. Ask her to tell you a joke and you will literally be 'rolling on the floor laughing'. Her passion for fashion can be attributed partly to her genes :-) and the show America's Next Top Model. However, great emphasis is placed on not making her love for fashion take over her living out her childhood. She is a tough one and loves Karate! She also loves reading and exploring the internet. Favorites foods include pizza, strawberry ice cream and anything sweet! Favorite saying 'OMS' (Oh my Stars)!
