Nikia Davis and her daughter, Rosalind Mobley, just missed winning the top spot in our annual Mother’s Day look-alike contest 11 years ago.
They finished in second place.
This year, they came out on top by re-creating a portrait Davis found of her mother. Davis’ mother died of breast cancer in 2005 at the age of 58. Davis was cleaning when she came across an old black and white photo of her mom in her 30s lying across her bed. She immediately wanted to replicate the pose with Rosalind.
When they saw the result, they were in disbelief at how similar they all looked. Even though they had heard it their entire lives, the striking resemblance didn’t hit until that moment. Davis looked exactly like her mom, and Mobley looked just like her. The same face passed down for three generations.
People are also reading…
“It’s like we are giving birth to ourselves,” David jokes. The mother-daughter pair both work as customer service agents for American Airlines at Lambert airport.
They’ve grown to love their likeness of one another.
“It makes me feel good,” Rosalind says. When her friends point out the obvious, she laughs and says, “Girl, I know. That’s my twin.”
They decided to use this photo for another shot at the title. They won the greatest number of votes for best look-alikes in our online Mom & Me contest.
Their generational genetic dominance may be nearing a close, however.
Rosalind says her 2-year-old daughter looks exactly like her father.
