Meet Jia Sarnicola and Zuri Copeland, two inseparable six-year-olds from Miami who firmly believe they are twins. Their friendship began at three, growing stronger over the years. According to Jia’s mom, Ashley Sarnicola, the girls insist on their twin status with a long list of reasons.
Claiming practically the same birthdays, June 3 and 5, the duo highlights physical similarities, emphasizing matching outfits and joint celebrations. Their personalities also align, sharing vibrant energy, intelligence, and a caring nature.
Despite their close bond, the girls faced a hurtful incident where an older kid at a party questioned their twinhood due to different skin colors. The insensitive comment made Jia cry, but she responded with resilience, saying, “You don’t know what you’re talking about. We’re twins because we share the same soul.”
Zuri’s sister shared this powerful exchange on Twitter, resonating with many. The moms express concern about societal influences, emphasizing the importance of embracing differences. As Zuri’s mom, Valencia, notes, “We have a lot to learn, and we can learn from children.” The story serves as a poignant reminder of the genuine connection that truly matters in life.
