“They may not be tall enough
to ride the biggest rollercoaster
or old enough to drive, but they
are taking the world by storm.
There may be only one parent,
but these children haven’t
taken notice.
They are excelling in all areas,
proving that one strong parent
can make a difference.”

Celebrity idol: Alicia Keys

Family ties: “Family is very important. If someone gets hurt, you have more family to go to.”

How would you describe yourself?

Sierra: Social and energetic

Milan: Unselfish, pretty…a boy at school tells me that I am

Your girls just moved from California to Atlanta, how are you adjusting?

Sierra: It’s fun. It’s definitely colder, but everyone here is so friendly. At school, they think it’s cool. They ask me a lot of questions about California.

Milan: Georgia is different. In the libraries, you can eat, and you are allowed to wear sandals. I have nine friends and a guy that likes me.

I know both of you girls model and act. What are you thinking when you’re walking down the runway?

Sierra: Trying not to fall. I try to pay attention to what I’m doing. And TV commercials?

Milan: I get very nervous. I just look around and think of something. Usually my mom, my sister and my family.

Sierra, you were co-president of your school in California. Was it difficult to make decisions for your peers?

Sierra: My partner and I got in a lot of fights at first, but then I got used to him. We learned to work with each other to get what needed to be accomplished done.

What do you aspire to be when you grow up?

Sierra: I haven’t decided yet. A lawyer, a marine biologist or a teacher. When we travel, I always find new careers I’m interested in. We went to sea world and saw the dolphins, and I thought it would be cool to be a marine biologist.

Milan: A dance and sing star. A star.

Do you and your mom get a chance to hang out?

Sierra: Yes, we like to go shopping. Mom is also my shot put coach for track.

Milan: She’s my favorite. We watch play card games, we sing together, dance together, and sometimes we run together. I tell her jokes like ‘why didn’t the skeleton go to the party,’ ‘because he had no body’ (giggles).

Is it ever hard for her to come to both of your events?

Sierra: She’s always there. When I get an award, she’s there. When I run a race, she’s there.

Milan: She never misses anything of mine or sissy’s.

Does she give you any advice?

Sierra: Just to be yourself.

Milan: Not to smoke, it will make us look old before our time.

Anything else?

Milan: To get up and try again.

Do you want to have kids one day?

Milan: Yes. I’m going to treat my kids just like my mom does.

    These kids are definitely on the right track! Bragging rights is right. And the fact that they want to treat their kids the way their mom treats them is a good sign – something must be going right! :)

  2. LeShon Carter says:

    I really liked this article. Very well done. The girls were completely true to themselves. Great Job!

  3. Wendy Nicholson says:

    Georgia sure does miss these girls!

  4. Dan Andrews says:

    Having photographed these two girls(and their mother) a few times I can tell all, they are individuals yet all about family and friends. They laugh and share their character and their outstanding upbringing in all that they do. Certainly the girls are two of my absolute favorite people to have known and as always I wish them well in all they do in their lives. Take care Milan and Sierra…continue to be true to who you each are and success in life shall be yours!!
