11-Year-Old Bullied For Skin Tone Turns Youngest Designer At New York Fashion Week

11-year-old Kheris Rogers is now the youngest designer to be featured during New York Fashion Week after being racially bullied at school earlier this year. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Taylor Pollard, Roger’s older sister, tweeted a picture of her beautiful sister with the caption, ” my sister is only 10, but already royalty #FlexinInHerComplexion.” The tweet instantly went viral after receiving almost 85k likes and 32k retweets. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pollard spoke with CBS Los Angeles about her sister stating, “She’s a chocolate girl that’s dressed nice and had her natural hair showing. I just wanted to put it out there she was flexing her complexion.”

Rogers’ clothing line, Flexin’ In My Complexion, encourages other young women to be proud of their skin. The profits from the brand’s sales will go towards Rogers’ higher education pursuits.
