I'm a member of the African diaspora: my parents left the Caribbean and came to London for a better life.
My family were from Jamaica.
I grew up in London. My parents and I lived in West Norwood, then we moved to Norbury, and I went to the Brit School. I'm a South London girl at heart.
My parents are British but they emigrated to America, where I was born.
I grew up in northwest London on a council estate. My parents are Irish immigrants who came over here when they were very young and worked in menial jobs all their lives, and I'm one of many siblings.

I was born and raised in Essex, just outside London, to a financially comfortable, well-educated Pakistani family.
Both my parents are English and I was born in West Africa, and I moved around as a kid, lived in Bristol, lived in Buckinghamshire and Surrey as a kid, and then moved when I was 16.
On my mother's side, I come from Midlands engineers and, on my father's, from tenant farmers near Oxford.
I was born in England, but then I lived in Calgary, Saudi Arabia, Cyprus, India, Vancouver, London, Toronto, and now L.A.
