Maya Jama's lookalike mum lets her hair down at St Pauls Carnival

Maya Jama has shown that the love of partying and good vibes runs in the family after sharing a video of her mum cutting some shapes at St Pauls Carnival over the weekend. Thousands of people descended upon the St Pauls area of Bristol on Saturday (July 1) for the first Carnival since 2019.

One of the most anticipated dates in Bristol's cultural calendar, around 100,000 revellers celebrated the return of St Pauls Carnival as it marked two milestone anniversaries; 60 years since the Bristol Bus Boycott and 75 years since the HMT Empire Windrush arrived in Britain. This year's event paid tribute to the late Bristol Bus Boycott activist and carnival co-founder Roy Hackett MBE, who passed away in August last year.

Amongst those partying and soaking up the incredible energy exuding from the streets of St Pauls was Maya's mum, Sadie. Maya, who was born and raised in Bristol before moving to London as a teenager to follow her dreams, shared a dazzling video of Sadie, who is thought to be aged around 46, clearly having a great time, dancing around to the music in a camouflage co-ord.
