Matilda's Schoolmate Lavender is All Grown Up and Totally Fab Now

Ahhhh Matilda. The 1996 movie adaptation of Roald Dahl's book was a goodie. We loved Matilda, but we also loved her friend Lavender who put a newt in the Trunchbull's water.

Lavender had WAY more guts than we could ever have, because as soon as she put in the newt, the Trunchbull knew who did it.

And it was great, because Lavender usually looked so sweet and innocent.

Kiami still has those beautiful eyes, but she has grown into a woman who is totally fabulous.

Beautiful meetings with beautiful results. Working hard.. Feeling blessed. Feeling powerful. Feeling beautiful in my own skin, knowing that I'm SO worth it. I am enough.. Always have been & always will be. Do you realize how worth it you are? How loved you are? How much potential & possibility you possess? Well, let this be your reminder. Remove ALL the toxic people & energy & press forward. ❤️ #Blessed #TodaysAGreatDay #HappyFriday

Her selfie game is so on point. Since Matilda, Kiami has appeared in Moesha, In the House and The Steve Harvey Show.

Smiling ... Simply because I'm #Blessed. ☺️❤️🙊

#30 ❤️🙌🏾 I MADE IT! But I take NONE of the glory. Thank you God for carrying me over these past 10 years when I couldn't carry myself. Thank you for guidance, direction, & for growth. Thank you for NEVER leaving my side. Thank you for discernment. Thank you for removing me from situations I didn't belong in. Thank you for removing people from my life that aren't meant to go to the next level with me. I strive to be a woman of grace, confidence, faith, power, integrity and honesty. I pray You continue to carry & cover me, shape & mold me, & protect me. I'm SO proud of who I've become & what these 30 years have taught me. Thank you God for choosing me. Here's to so many more that I can't even count 🎉🎁🎊🎂🍸. #HappyBirthdayToMe #BirthdayGirl #Dirty30 #30AndUpClub #Blessed
