The “Trueblue Twins,” Megan and Morgan, first captured public attention when Deyonte Hunter, a renowned tattoo artist and musician from Camden, posted a photo of them on Instagram a few years ago.
What makes these two aspiring young models so remarkable? Just a glance is enough to understand why people refer to them as the “cutest twins ever.” Megan and Morgan are particularly famous on the internet due to Morgan’s rare and captivating bright blue eyes.
Morgan’s distinctive eye color is the result of a condition called heterochromia, which causes two different colored eyes. However, there’s no negative impact on her health—doctors have confirmed she has perfect vision. Her grandfather, mother, and uncle, who also share the same condition, are the sources of her striking blue eyes.
Their mother, who dresses the twins in matching outfits, knew from the moment they were born on June 6, 2011, that her daughters were destined to be extraordinary. She makes sure to keep them looking fashionable and regularly shares their photos online. Today, Megan and Morgan are often compared to A-list celebrity children and have signed contracts with several brands, all managed by their mother rather than a personal stylist.
For now, the family is taking a low-key approach. The girls receive free clothing from well-known brands but are not paid for their modeling, as their mother prefers not to pressure them into something they may not want to pursue. However, if they decide to go further into the modeling world, their stunning looks and widespread popularity suggest they would be incredibly successful.
Lovell Knight, the girls’ father, occasionally feels overwhelmed by the attention they attract. He is not particularly fond of their “celebrity” status, believing that the twins should experience a normal childhood. He remains mindful of the potential impact fame could have on their lives.
Despite sharing the same level of fame, Megan and Morgan are distinct individuals, each with their own unique personality, making them even more special.
An Athlete Got Her Period During a Race and Responded to Critics With a Powerful Message
“Not the most flattering photo of Emma, surely they can crop it a little better,” commented Xavier Coppock on a post where the athlete is shown finishing a race with a bloodstained one-piece swimsuit. It was at that precise moment that a long debate ensued.
Emma Pallant-Browne is a British athlete who competes in triathlon, duathlon, and aquathlon events. Among her latest achievements, she won a silver medal at the 2022 World Long Distance Triathlon Championships. In the prestigious Ironman 70.3 competition, she won 2 medals (silver in 2017 and bronze in 2022) and a gold medal at the European Championship in the same year.
In her latest multi-sport challenge, Emma finished fourth. The PTO Tour European Open in Ibiza was held just days after she won the Duathlon World Championship.
On the other hand, Xavier Coppock is another triathlete who decided to comment on a photo of Emma that had been published on the official profile of the competition that took place in Spain. Among the images, she is shown running with a red stain on her swimsuit due to her period.
Although we believe that the athlete’s comment was not made with ill intentions, his words caused a stir online. For her part, Emma was quick to respond. In the same forum, she tagged him and dedicated a few lines to him.
5 days later, the athlete uploaded the same photo to her profile. In the description, she sent an important message. “Celebrating the amazing women in sport and the equally amazing men who champion them. Humbled by the number of messages I’ve had from both men and women about the unglamorous reality of racing on your period,” she began.
In the post, she explained the factors that contributed to this situation. Her light pink outfit was chosen so as not to attract the sun’s rays, and she rolled over her bike, making the stain more visible. She squirted water at the hydration stations, but it failed to remove the stain.
“This is a women’s sport and the more barriers we can break, the better. After a long career, you end up with a photo like this, but the idea of editing it means there is something wrong with it. I share it because there’s really nothing wrong with it, it’s a natural thing,” she said.
“So if you have a photo like this, save it, cherish it, and remember how you performed on a tough day because one day you might just be able to help someone else with it,” she concluded in her powerful message.
The original post was deleted, but we still have Emma’s, which she posted on her profile. This athlete gave us a lot to talk about — she managed to turn a small comment into an empowering message regarding menstruation. It gave us pause and made us think about the natural things we should stop turning into taboos.
