Born in 2018, Max Griffin has become a cherished part of Cush and Sean’s lives, bringing joy and love to their family. The family’s story unfolded in the bustling city of New York, where Cush Jumbo and Sean Griffin lived for five years.
However, their journey took a turn when they decided to relocate back to London, seeking a setting more aligned with their values and cultural comfort.
In one poignant episode of “The Good Fight,” a popular series in which Cush Jumbo plays the character Lucca, the storyline echoes a real-life experience that Jumbo faced in New York.

The episode delves into the racial dynamics of the city, touching on the misconception that Lucca is the nanny of her own child, a scenario that Jumbo revealed had happened to her in a milder form. The incident underscores the unique challenges faced by women of color, particularly in contexts where racial dynamics differ.
Cush Jumbo has been candid about her decision to move away from New York, expressing concerns about raising her son in an environment that presented challenges she found difficult to grasp. The cultural differences, exemplified by a nursery’s routine sniper drill, played a role in the family’s choice to return to the UK.
In an interview with ES Magazine, Cush Jumbo shed light on the rationale behind their significant move, emphasizing a desire to provide a different upbringing for Max. The move to London represents a return to familiar surroundings and a community where the nuances of parenting align more closely with Cush and Sean’s values.
