What inspires you?

My Family inspires me.  Their support and love inspires me.  Having fun in everything I do also inspires me.

What are your dreams for the future?

I recently told my Mom that I want to be a fashion designer when I grow up.  I am really into Project Runway Junior, ever since attending New York Fashion Week. 

Who is your role model and why?  

I don’t have just one role model. My whole family is. My Mom, Dad, and 2 Sisters are my role models.  They work so hard at everything they do, and never give up.  I am the baby of the family, so I get to look up to them, and they help me reach my goals together.

Please finish this sentence: I am possible because….I have a lot of support from family and friends, and I really try to make even the hard work fun.

Why do you like Isossy Children and how does it make you feel when you wear Isossy Children clothes? 

I was lucky to wear Isossy Children Clothing. I got to model Isossy Children clothes at their Runway Show at New York Fashion Week.  I got to wear this really pretty red dress.  It made me feel beautiful and confident.   

What words of wisdom do you think every child should grow up knowing?

Personality is first. Hard work will pay off.  If you keep trying, keep moving forward, eventually you WILL succeed.

Watch The Moment Our Founder's Son Asked President Barack Obama A Question About Legacy

Elijah Rabor-Bell, Amanda Rabor's son recently had the amazing opportunity to be part of an audience with President Obama. Click here for the moment (29:40) which President Obama selected Elijah to speak and watch the full video here:

"So today I had the amazing opportunity of personally asking President Obama a question about his thoughts on his legacy. A significant historical figure not just as a president but as the first black president.

Naturally he's not quite ready to think about that as he still has 8 months to go and he made jokes about it.

So grateful to YLUK for giving me this opportunity. And kudos to Obama for not forgetting me.

His response was everything I wanted to know about and more. He touched on his healthcare, averting a Great Depression, Ebola, Civil Rights and how long it takes to effect generational change.

I think the best message was one about keeping integrity and authenticity throughout.

Truly a #momentforlife.

Thank You #YLUK #BBC #Channel4 #LindleyHall #PresidentObama" Elijah Rabor-Bell

I Am Possible With...Mya

Isossy Children is proud to launch The “I Am Possible” campaign, for its Autumn/Winter 2016 collection. “I Am Possible” is about the unification of our passion, style and individuality; empowering each and every child to say 'I Am Possible'.

Despite having learning challenges such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, hyper sensitivity, memory issues and challenging behaviour 12 year old Mya has been training a dog at school. This led to a fascination with the charity Canine Partners. She is also obsessed with baking and her sugar craft is as good as a professional bakers. As such she often spends her weekends baking gorgeous goodies to sell to raise money for canine partners. She has raised hundreds of pounds this way and earned a Blue Peter badge. 

Her affinity for animals is really amazing but has decided it's a career in baking for her. 

What inspires you?

I am inspired by the charity Canine Partners because I like how they train dogs for the disabled. I think its so clever how they train them to open doors and put clothes in the washing machine. It’s amazing that they can train dogs to do this stuff and help other people.

What are your dreams for the future?

I want my own baking company when I am older I adore baking and practise every weekend

Who is your role model and why?

Mary Berry is my role model because she is the queen of cake baking. She inspires me to try different things and make my own recipes. If I can create interesting things then I can raise more money in my bake sales for Canine Partners

Please finish this sentence: I am possible because…. I believe in myself and work hard to make my dreams come true 

Why do you like Isossy Children and how does it make you feel when you wear Isossy Children clothes (if you have worn them)?

 I haven’t worn them because I am really tall and was in adult clothes very young but I think the clothes are very beautiful, individual and unusual. 

What words of wisdom do you think every child should grow up knowing?

What you believe you can achieve.
