Enjoy As ‘She Takes A Look Back’ ‘And Gives Back’ By Sharing Her Story And Pearls of Wisdom With The World In The Warmest of Ways In This Truly Groundbreaking Fashion Exhibition. Like Naomi Herself – It’s Stunning.
Naomi Elaine Morris Was Born In Streatham, Lambeth, South East London In May 1970. Her Jamaican Born Mother, Valerie Morris, Was A Dancer And Travelled The World And Would Sometimes Bring Naomi With Her On Her Travels. When She Didn’t, Her Daughter Was Raised By Her Aunt And Other Family Members. She Never Knew Her Father Who Abandoned Her Mother Whilst She Was Pregnant. She Was Aware However That He Was Jamaican Chinese And That Her Paternal Grandmother’s Family Name Was Ming.
She Too Became A Dancer (With A Love of Ballet) And Eventually Joined The Famous Italia Conti Performing Arts School In Central London. Locally She Went To Dunraven School In Streatham. She Loved Her School Time Although Revealed That Being Tall And Skinny She Was Bullied And It Knocked Her Confidence. She Is 5ft’ 10′ (1.78 m). Not Great For Your Average School Kid. But Exactly The Kind of Numbers That Could Potentially Make For Model Material. Indeed Her Beauty Was Such That She Was Soon Scouted In Covent Garden In London’s West End – Whilst Still A School Pupil!
