Jade is my neighbour and I met her through her mother who lived in the same housing estate in London. When I interviewed Jade, she was 18 years’ old, and Taijariai was her first baby, 2 months. For the interview, Jade decided to put on makeup and wear a bright pink wig and put a blue and white striped dress on her baby. During the interview, she said she was very happy to have her baby but willing to sleep for longer hours.
