What prompted you to release your own doll?
From my Bailey Agency School of Fashion. … Most of my students have kids that come in that are 5 and up. My core is probably [ages] 8 to 15. I grew up playing with dolls and I never had a doll that looked like me, especially with an Afro, and that was important to me to have in my doll.

What have been some of your greatest success stories at the Bailey Agency School of Fashion?
My first model search winner, Nissa Pouncey, is incredible. She has been hooked up with major advertising campaigns like Abercrombie & Fitch and working during New York Fashion Week. I am so excited that through my model search I was able to make her dream come true. When I found her she was 13 years old; it feels great to change someone’s life and make it amazing. That’s the best thing I can do is actually help a kid change her life and a make a dream come true. That is what I am most proud of, that my school allows kids to “go for it” and have incredible success.
