Ava is a very smart, creative, funny, yet reserved 7-soon to be 8 year old. She enjoys attending school, where she is at the top of her second grade class. Recently, she was honored by her schools superintendent for a writing she did on Susan B. Anthony about women’s rights. Her piece was also published in the district calendar! Besides school, Ava loves to attend art classes, where she completed her first pottery course, as well as expressive drawing. She also has a love for American Girl Dolls. Aside from everyday life, Ava has had the opportunity to journey into a new found love...modeling! She has had the privilege to work with many known photographers, and magazines. Currently, she is the Cover Girl for Honey Be Kids Mag (Instagram @HoneyBeKidsMag). And just recently, she was selected to be brand ambassador for Naturalicious hair care products (Instagram @Naturalicious1). Ava is also a “Jus10H Kid” for fashion designer Justin Hayes (Instagram @Jus10Hisfashion) where she does photoshoots for amazing causes such as Type 2 Diabetes Awareness, Multiple Sclerosis Awareness and many more! She also has had the privilege to walk in the I Am Me 4th and 5th Annual Fashion Show, as well as the Children’s Making Strides Against Cancer 2nd Annual Fashion Show.
So far, 2016 has been really good to Ms. Ava. So we decided to keep the “good” going by kicking off workshop sessions. We are in the very beginning stages of our journey, but our target will be primarily for mothers with daughters who are looking for some sort of motivation or direction for a lifestyle boost. I get so many questions on Ava’s Instagram ranging anywhere from hair care products to education apps/books to recommend. We receive so many messages from moms, who say we have inspired them in some way or another, so I’d figure why not now! The idea will be to focus on basic natural hair care, travel, shopping fashionably but frugal, child encouragement and so much more! Very excited to see how our journey down this new road goes, but I know with time, faith, drive and determination it will be something AMAZING!

What inspires you?
Waking up every morning knowing my family is healthy.
What are your dreams for the future?
To be a model, and artist, and to make sure I share my knowledge.
Especially if it can help someone in someway. That is very important.
Who is your role model and why?
My mom is my role model because she supports me. And every single day she
tells me to try my best in all that I do.
I am possible because...
I am alive and well. I have a voice and a mind and I use them both....a lot.
Why do you like Isossy Children clothing?
They look sooooo pretty. I especially like the colors. Sitting front row at
the fashion show for NYFW made me like them even more. I could see all of the
nice clothes up close! Both my mom and I have our own favorite pieces, but
there's definitely one piece that we agree should be apart of my
wardrobe...and if you know my mom, it will be!
What words of wisdom do you think every child should grow up knowing?
Try your hardest. Always do what is in your heart. And never, ever give
