Description

Bursting with inspiration and affirmation, Kheris Rogers’ debut picture book encourages children everywhere to love the skin they are in. When her confidence is shaken by peers who say they are scared of her because she's "too dark," Imani turns to her sister for a loving reminder that she’s smart, hope, brave, beautiful, strong, and just enough. After embracing what makes her truly special, Imani learns to be fearless! Inspired by the real-life experiences of Kheris Rogers, the young CEO and designer of the Flexin’ in My Complexion clothing line, this ode to dark-skinned girls will empower many. A perfect tool to teach children about appreciating both outer & inner beauty, embracing differences, being kind to oneself & others, and the power of reciting affirmations. Kheris Rogers is a model, dancer, singer, actress, and the world's youngest designer to ever showcase her clothing line Flexin' In My Complexion at New York Fashion Week. Kheris started her now-famed clothing line after years of bullying in school because of her dark skin complexion. Her story of how she turned lemons into lemonade has been televised by NBC, CBS, and The Steve Harvey Show. Her designs have been worn by sheroes such as Whoopi Goldberg, Lupita N'yongo, Lena Waithe and Alicia Keys. Kheris was named by LeBron James as 1 of the strongest women that inspired him to create his Nike shoe, Lebron XVI. Kheris is also on Teen Vogue's "21 Under 21" list and is part of the girl-group, Run the World. Kheris continues to use her platform to speak out against bullying and to uplift Black girls and young people everywhere.
