Black and white twins turn 7

Kian and Remee




The odds of a mixed race couple having twins of different colours are a million to one but that’s what happened when these two baby girls were born. Although twins, born one minute apart, one was black, the other white. Their parents genes are to blame - mother Kylee Hodgson and father Remi Horder both have white mothers and black fathers.


Now as their seventh birthday approaches, they say that racial prejudice has never been a problem. "They are such a perfect example of how it should be" their mother said.    She remembers the moment she first saw them when they were born back in 2005. “I thought they would start to look the same as time went on” she said.    But Kian’s eyes changed from blue to brown and her skin got darker and Remee’s complexion got lighter and her curly hair stayed blonde. They learned to walk and talk at different times but their first words was identical - ‘Juice”. According to their mother, Kian is bossier and louder and Remee is more reserved and laid back.


Today they are in different classes at school and have a different set of friends but at home, they do everything together. Sadly, their parents are now separated and the girls live with their mother in Dudley, West Midlands.
