‘She Already Modeling’: ‘Black Ink Crew: Chicago’ Star Charmaine Walker Shares This Darling Photo of Her 5-Month-Old Daughter

Charmaine Walker‘s daughter Nola Glenda Bey is making quite an impression with her camera-ready snaps.

The “Black Ink Crew: Chicago” star uploaded a super adorable photo of her 5-month-old daughter that made hearts melt. She took to Instagram on Monday, Aug. 17, with a picture of baby Nola dressed adorably and posing fiercely for an impromptu photo shoot.

The infant wore a super cute light blue animal print romper. She posed with her ankles crossed and one hand on her knee as she gawked at the camera. Walker claimed her daughter struck the sassy pose without her assistance.

“It’s the hand on the knee for me 🤣 thank you for the cute clothes and toys! I’ll post more of Nola’s looks on her page 🤩,” the first-time mother wrote.

Walker’s post garnered more than 47,000 likes and a shower of compliments. “Felt cute. Might spit up on mom later,” an IG user quipped.

“Did she pose like that on her own?!?! Toooo cute! ❤️ Ok little baby model 😂 love you baby girl!” someone else added.

Another fan wrote, “She just got here and she already modeling 🤣 strike a pose Nola 😀 you go girl!”

“My goodness she reminds me soo much of your mom down to the personality!!! That is HER!!!!” an IG user commented.

Walker and her husband Neek Bey named their baby girl after the reality star’s late mother Glenda Walker, who passed away from a heart attack in October.

The new mom said she thought about her mother while giving birth to her daughter in March.

“Hearts are full 💜 #NolaGlendaBey was born yesterday at 4:41 !” Walker wrote on March 15. ” 6lbs 14 oz and 19.5 inches! When I was pushing her out I had an image of my mom holding her and it was the most beautiful experience ever.”

Although Walker is still mourning the loss of her mother, her daughter gives her a reason to also smile.

The “Black Ink” star and Bey couldn’t be happier to have their daughter in their lives. In an April post, Walker called baby Nola “the coolest most loving baby” ever.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
