Half Jamaican Mom Gave Birth to Black and White Twins!

It is not a common occurrence for twins to have radically different skin tones.

Donna Douglas, a half Jamaican woman gave birth to biracial twins in 1997.

The twins, Lucy and Maria Aylmer, now 18, have constantly sparked the curiosity of strangers because of how different they look.

Their differences are not only in appearance.

The girls also have very different personalities and interests.

Maria has brown hair, a caramel complexion and studies law and psychology while her sister Lucy has a very fair complexion, red hair studies art.

According to the NY Post, “No one ever believes we are twins because I am white and Maria is black,” Lucy explained. “Even when we dress alike, we still don’t even look like sisters, let alone twins”, said the girls.

According to Lucy, one of the best things about having a twin that doesn’t bare a resemblance to her is that they are never mistaken for one another.

“We were in the same class at infant school, but no one ever had a problem telling us apart,” she explained. “Most twins look like two peas in a pod — but Maria and I couldn’t look more different if we tried. We don’t even look like we have the same parents, let alone having been born at the same time.”

The girls’ father is white.
