Kheris Rogers, 16 Year
Old CEO & Creator of Flexin’ In My Complexion Apparel Line
Presents her Debut HarperCollins Published Children’s Book, “Shine
Bright” for your Holiday Gift List Consideration
Kheris Rogers, teen fashion designer, singer, and anti-bullying advocate, is soon
to add author to her list of impressive accomplishments. When she was just ten,
Kheris’s Flexin’ In My Complexion T-shirt line went viral, leading her to
become the youngest designer to showcase at New York Fashion Week. Now she
inspires her many fans and followers to love their dark complexions.
HarperCollins Children’s Books will publish Kheris’s debut picture
book, Shine Bright, on September 27, 2022. The book will be
illustrated by Mechal Renee Roe, a #1 New York Times bestselling
illustrator.
In Shine Bright, the main
character, Imani, has beautiful, rich, melanated, dark skin, but her confidence
is shaken by bullies. Imani’s sister reminds her that she is smart, hopeful, brave, beautiful,
and just enough. Shine Bright is inspired by
Kheris’s own experiences being bullied for her dark complexion and will empower
readers, especially Black girls, to shine bright inside and out. The book
will also include an author letter and affirmation pledge based on the
story. “I wrote Shine Bright to encourage others to love
who they are from the inside out,” says Kheris. “This book highlights that
there is beauty within all of us that is waiting to shine through!”
Luana Kay Horry, Senior Editor at HarperCollins Children’s Books, says, “Kheris Rogers is an inspiration to anyone who has ever been bullied for the things that make them beautiful. It’s been an honor to work with her on a story that will encourage all children to shine as bright as they can and on their own terms.”
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 being bullied 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 Nyong’o, Lena Waithe, and Alicia Keys. Kheris was named by LeBron James as one of the strongest women who 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.
