Maya Jama Instagram – Honestly. An absolute madness. We shot this months ago & it still hasn’t sunk in.. the cover of Vogue.. little me on my own shot by the greatest to ever do it @stevenmeiselofficial , I burst into tears as soon as I got the call, this was a life dream of mine that I wasn’t sure would ever even happen because it just has never happened, the only other “tv host” (if you can even call her that) that I’ve ever seen on a vogue cover is Oprah which makes it even more wild & coming from where I come from it is just unheard of. I don’t even really have the words to express how much this means to me and how surreal everything has felt recently I’m forever grateful to anyone who has believed in me throughout the years, I’ve been at it since 16 but this feels like it’s only just the beginning. I sat last night and looked at previous British vogue covers in awe, so many legends and icons, an all I could imagine was my future grandkids getting sick of me telling them their nan was once a Vogue cover girl 😂 Cheers to exceeding our own expectations and a lil F you to those “stay in your lane” voices, made my own lane by staying 100% true to myself, no switching up, no compromising & I hope this can encourage anyone who’s watched my journey so far to do the same Thankyou so much to Edward you have made my year & special thanks to Jimmy Moffat ❤️ & @raven__smith for your lovely words photography by @stevenmeiselofficial styling by @edward_enninful hair by @guidopalau makeup by @patmcgrathreal nails by @jinsoonchoi
