Black Icons - 2021

This Black History Month, we at Woke Babies are so thrilled to celebrate the shining stars making history in the UK! Our littlest models have donned their favourite costumes of people whose impact has been unmeasurable. From trailblazers smashing records on sports fields and stages, to innovators inspiring us with creativity - it's an honor for them all. Let’s give a round of applause for every black icon out there who is breaking boundaries and paving paths forward!
