"You inspire me so much because you lead with heart, you lead with your values, and you've never let anything steer you from that."
At its heart, community will always begin with family. So, it only felt right that the third and final stop on Imani-Lara Lansiquot's hometown tour of Peckham led us to her dad.
Richard Lansiquot is the headteacher of Sacred Heart Catholic School in Camberwell, South London.
Having taught at the school for 28 years, Mr Lansiquot, as he is more often referred to, has established himself as one of the most respected and trusted figures within the community.
They are values that have filtered through the school itself and are equally evident within his own family, even if Imani herself did not go to his secondary school.
Sat on the sofa in her dad's office at Sacred Heart, their father-daughter relationship and similarities became heartwarmingly clear as they flicked through various newspaper cuttings and sporting achievements.
And as Imani stumbled upon her application letter to Trinity Sixth Form from 2013, it sent them both on a trip down memory lane.
She said: "I was reading it with my boyfriend Dom the other day, and I wrote: 'I also have aspirations to become an Olympian in the near future. I hope that this would help me to be considered for a place at the sixth form, because I know that Trinity will offer the motivating and helpful atmosphere I need in order to achieve my goals.' That is so cute."
As the father of a two-time Olympic medallist, Richard is often asked about the moment he realised that his daughter had Olympic-worthy talent.
Imani is the first to admit that she did not want to be an athlete in her younger years, despite seemingly holding every sporting certificate under the sun.
But her dad's belief in her, following a Year 7 sports day, proved the spark that lit the flame in her athletics career.
"My main memory, probably the most special one, which defined her in lots of ways, was that she won a sports day at Crystal Palace in Year 7," he said.
"Okay, fine, most children who become Olympians have won their sports days, but what made me decide to push her more was that her teacher did a special race.
"The first-place winners for Year 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 had a race on the track.
"She was very nervous because she'd won Year 7, and she was happy enough with that, but then she won the overall one. She beat the Year 11 kids who were four years older than her."
The support Imani received from her father and her own schoolteacher speaks volumes to just how fundamental educators are to inspiring the next generation.
"I was lucky because I had you," she told her beaming dad. "You were the one that was always pushing me and telling me I could do it.
"But having teachers like Miss Smith, putting on a special race just for me, that race is the reason why I'm doing what I'm doing today. That for me was a real turning point.
"It was a great decision taking me to an athletics club after, even though I really resented you for it for a long time and we really butted heads.
"Then I made my first team when I was 16 and from then I was like, 'I really want to go to the Olympic Games'."
While Imani was not that keen on being a sporting icon until her mid-teens, Richard's love of sport has always inspired her.
The sprinter herself is named after West Indies cricket legend Brian Lara, one of her dad's heroes and a nod back to her own Caribbean heritage.
Imani had the talent, but Richard's continued support and understanding that gave her the push.
She said: "I vividly remember the 2008 Olympics when Bolt crossed the line in 9.68s and you saying, 'Imani, I know you don't love sport, but you have to watch this.'
"I think it was him running and beating his chest and you were like, 'this is the best thing I think I've ever seen in sport'.
"I remember running up to your bedroom watching that moment, and it is crazy to think that we've been to two Olympic Games together now. It's mad."
Team GB's Princess of Peckham series spent a day following Imani around the three places that mean community to her.
But seeing first-hand the love she has received from all three locations, it turns out that while the community has been helping shape Imani, she has also been helping shape the community.
Walking around Sacred Heart, every teacher and student was stopping to ask a question, snap a photo or congratulate her on her success.
Because when your headteacher's daughter is an Olympian, why wouldn't you?
"The school is very, very proud of her," said Richard. "Imani's from the local community and ex-pupils, ex-pupils' parents, ex-staff will contact me when they see her on TV and say how proud they are.
"I always say thank you because it's nice to get that positive energy or support whenever she's running."
Imani added: "Dad is downplaying it. I get the same number of messages and requests in my DMs relating to Mr Lansiquot, saying 'Oh, my God. Your dad taught me.'
"I feel like you've probably taught a significant percentage of people in the local area. And every time I'm on TV, every time I'm racing, people remember me because they remember you.
"I always call you the King of South London because no matter where we are, someone stops us and I just think that's amazing.
"I've said for the longest time that you inspire me so much because you lead with heart and you lead with your values.
"And that's why I always turn to you for advice because you've never let anything steer you from that."
A two-time Olympic medallist, fashion icon and arts lover, and a headteacher who is paving the way for the next Peckham luminary, it is crystal clear that the Lansiquot family are the beating heart of their community.
"I think the reason I am a headteacher is because I try to lead like that," added Richard.
"But that is how Imani is too and that's why they're very proud of her. Imani can find that success and has those values, humility and she's grounded.
"So, I think it even means more to our children. Because she can do it, they can do it.
"It's my responsibility here, not just in sport, but to push everyone.
"The vision of the school is to enable every child to achieve what they think they're capable of, and we try to enact that every single day."
