Jamie Perskins, a blonde cinematographer, and Nikki Thot, a dark-skinned model, seemed like a perfect couple when they met in 2009 on MySpace. They married in 2010, had two daughters, Ava and Zoe, and became social media stars with a YouTube channel. Their viral proposal video garnered millions of likes and launched their online journey.

Nikki, originally from Sudan, faced little bullying growing up in Australia. However, as her fame grew, her skin color and their interracial relationship became subjects of public scrutiny, especially in the beauty community. Despite this, their family channel celebrated diversity.
