The Sports Illustrated model and body positive pioneer hinted at motherhood and the experience of bringing up a mixed raced child in an interview with Allure back in June. “I want to know as much as I can as a white woman who is going to be raising black children,” she stated. “We’re going to have to have that conversation of ‘Mommy’s white, Daddy’s black,’ and I want to be prepared. ”
