Jia Sarnicola and Zuri Copeland, two six-year-olds from Miami, share a friendship so deep that they consider themselves to be twins. It all began when they met at school three years ago, and ever since, their connection has only grown stronger. They even have a list of reasons to prove their twinship!
According to Jia’s mom, Ashley Sarnicola, the girls firmly believe they are twins. They claim to have practically the same birthday, with Jia celebrating on June 3 and Zuri on June 5. Not only that, but they also compare their physical attributes, insisting that they are the same height and love wearing matching outfits.
But it’s not just their appearances that make them feel like twins. Jia and Zuri have similar personalities too. Ashley describes them as having vibrant energy, intelligence, and a caring nature. They are both incredibly vocal about their needs and always look out for others.
Ashley and Valencia, the girls’ moms, have also become close friends. They share the concern that society might try to dictate their daughters’ feelings about each other. Sadly, this has already happened when an older child at a birthday party made a heartless comment about their different skin colors.
Although Jia shed tears upon hearing the hurtful remark, she quickly gathered her strength and responded with a powerful line: “You don’t know what you’re talking about. We’re twins because we share the same soul.” This unwavering response not only impressed those around them but also touched the hearts of many after it was shared on social media by Zuri’s sister, Victoria Williams.
In a world that often focuses on differences, Jia and Zuri remind us of the importance of love and acceptance. Their bond is an inspiration to us all. Let us learn from their friendship and embrace the beauty of diversity. May nothing ever come between these two incredible souls.
