SQUAD

Meet The Squad

Situated in L.A; Singapore; Berlin; Brighton; London; Melbourne; Sydney; Perth and Brisbane Australia; we have a global gang that traverses the tween age range all answering your big questions from their perspective. 

Get to know them a little better here 👇

⚡️Chloe : L.A. USA

⚡️ Ruby : Sydney AUS

⚡️Emily : Perth AUS

Passionate about wheelchair rugby, soccer, singing along to my latest playlist, making films and hanging with my friends and family.. I think people use the word “pretty” too often and it kind of suggests that the way we look is more important than other qualities. There are more important things - for example being kind, being fair, inclusive, cooperating and friendly; or placing value on our attitude, our effort and being our true authentic self!

Happy to be here.

My name is Emily Prior + I'm repping RPK

⚡️Leroy : Berlin GER

Hey! I’ve been living in Berlin for over a year and I’m interested in public speaking and the arts. Oh yeah, and I like to play games, draw pictures and keep it REAL. I recently had an exhibition here in Berlin for some of my art, I started off in a school I didn’t like, learning a language I didn’t think I could learn, I was harassed and bullied a bit... and then, I changed school.

My name is Leroy + I'm repping RPK.

 

 

⚡️ Eliza : Brighton UK

 

Hi! I’ve lived in Brighton all my life and I really love the artiness and freedom of the place. I love to perform; and I love singing, acting and drumming. I’m much more confident on stage 😊. 
I think that it is important to do what is RIGHT and not what is easy.

My name is Eliza + I'm repping RPK.

 

⚡️Anya : Melbourne AUS

Hi! My name is Anya and I’m 10 years old. I really enjoy going to school, and I am the Snr School Council Captain of my class. I live in Melbourne, Australia, and I have Italian + Croatian heritage. 

I love modelling and acting, and go to Musical Theatre classes every week after school (which I’m very passionate about!). And also enjoy playing netball, gymnastics and jumping and flipping on the trampoline. Another of my fave hobbies is riding my bike with my younger sister, Maya. 

I absolutely LOVE the idea of being Real Pretty Kind, especially the inspiration to #BEYOURSELF

My name is Anya + I'm repping RPK.

 

⚡️Dee Dee : London UK

 

Hi! I love horses, singing, playing my flute, writing music, animals and writing books. I always love to go on holiday to somewhere warm and where there are beaches, ice-cream and wildlife areas.
My dream is to have a job where I can be around animals and people.
I really love 'A Series Of Unfortunate Events' because the characters and plot are my favourite style where every moment is a clue. I also love the film Pitch Perfect. 

My name is Dee Dee + I’m repping RPK.

 

 

⚡️Lilliana : Singapore

 

 

Hi there! I am a third culture kid: born in Singapore but my mum is from Australia and my dad is from Wales. To me it is normal to have 21 different nationalities in your class at school, with everyone celebrating unique traditions and holidays, and speaking lots of languages. I love being based in Asia as I am lucky and get to travel a lot. I speak English but also Mandarin. In my spare time I love sports - Basketball, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Athletics, and Gymnastics. And I have a dog called Rosie who I hang out with.

My name is Lilliana + I'm repping RPK.

 

⚡️ Ksenia : Melbourne AUS

 

Hello! My mum is Russian. My family lived in Moscow, Russia for 7 years, from when I was in kindergarten to when I was 7-8 years old. Meaning that I’ve lived in Russia most of my life. I have many good friends, and they have all changed me as a person and each of them has made me perceive the world in a different (but good) way. REAL PRETTY for me means being you and being confident with who you are without having to change to meet anyone else’s expectations.

I have  a lot of hobbies! Reading - I would have to say the Percy Jackson series is a favourite and I’m pretty sure I’ve reread the books at least 3 times now; silk painting; and playing Mario Kart and Twilight Princess: Legend of Zelda are all on the list. I also enjoy competitive swimming, horse riding, tennis, badminton, volleyball and playing piano. My favourite musical artist is the band Boy and Bear and Tchaikovsky. 

My Name is Ksenia + I'm repping RPK. 

⚡️ Bailee : Sydney AUS

 

Hi there! I love exploring and travelling the world, learning about other cultures and customs. At home you can find me singing, dancing, skiing, horse riding, listening to music, reading or hanging with my best friend Sophie or favourite side kick, Alfie the Groodle. 
I think keeping it REAL is important because it’s about being the best ‘you’ that you can be. No one is like you so be true to yourself and show everyone who you really are. 

My name is Bailee + I'm repping RPK.

 

⚡️Emerson : Sydney AUS

Loving my family & friends, dogs, Fridays, summer, the beach, rainbows and chocolate. I am creative and artistic and I think I am pretty funny and kind. I think it would be so amazing if we could all remember this... to treat everyone with kindness and not because they are kind to you but because that's just who you are..

My name is Emmy + I'm repping RPK.

⚡️ Lily : Brisbane AUS

Hi everyone! I love nature. I love getting out on adventures + exploring new places. Spending time with family + friends. And taking care of animals.
I think KIND is cool. Real is better than fake. And that a smile can fix A LOT of things.

My name is Lily + I’m repping RPK.

📚 ChickPea Daly 

Hi everyone - this is me for RPK Book Clubbers! I'm 9 and I love saving the planet. I also like drawing, fashion stuff, doing art, colouring and playing Minecraft. I really like all foods (except broccoli YUCK!) 🙊 I LOVE animals (especially horses and I would not mind one bit moving to a farm) and I feel super happy when a new baby (e.g. a puppy or a kitten or even a real human being baby) is born.

📚 Imogen 

Hi everyone!  I'm 9. And when I'm not reading, you'll find me climbing (mostly trees but anything really….. ) And drawing. I LOVE reading and drawing!!
I also love all types of animals and pets, hanging out with friends and travelling overseas - especially to see my family and cousins.

To me, HAPPINESS IS.. A good joke, a visit to the bookshop, camping with friends and getting out of class to do sports.

I am not a fan of...MATHS (sorry maths lovers) or fights between people or Brussel Sprouts (especially when my parents call them "mini lettuces" to trick us into eating them).

On my shelf right now are:
🌟 Holes
🌟 House of Secrets
🌟 Scarlet & Ivy"
