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

Each of us is unique. Be confident and strong. We can all dream, believe and achieve.

I am Possible with Elle Kent

Elle Kent (12) is an All-American rising actress and model from Georgia. She appeared in her first film, The Boss in 2015 as a Darnell Darling, which is how her love for acting began. She began modeling in 2015 with Alexandria Olivia being her first major booking. Elle is inspired to help others. Her next event is speaking to the children at a local primary school about spreading kindness and anti-bullying. Recently Elle accepted an invitation to become a Red Beret Aimbassador with The Red Beret Society. Elle is looking forward to performing on stage in the musical Charlie Brown in February.

What inspires you?
This is a hard question because I am inspired by so many things. I think mostly, I am inspired by all the opportunities that this world offers. If you start looking for the opportunities, they arise and they also begin to find you. I am inspired by the idea that you can do anything you want to if you think outside the box a little and put your mind to it.

What are your dreams for the future?
I have been taking acting classes for the past year and half and I’d love to make it one day and use my name as an actress to make something really count in life. I have a gift and want to use it for the good and will continue to find ways to show kindness to those who are hurting or in need. I also model, and I have decided that if I don’t make it as an actress or model, then my backup plan is to attend Harvard Law School. I would like to solve the toughest cases in New York City.

How does working with charities and helping in children’s hospitals make you feel and why is it important?
When I help with a charity, I always leave feeling so good inside knowing that I have helped someone else in need. This past year, I made blessing bags and passed them out to the homeless in New York City while I was there for Fashion Week. I also collected items for the Louisiana flood victims, and I knitted scarves and hats for the children’s hospital. In addition, I volunteered at the local animal shelter and rang bells for the Salvation Army. At Christmas I went shopping for four girls who weren’t getting a Christmas. I love to help, and I know that God put us on this Earth to help others. I feel that we can only be blessed if we are a blessing to others.

Who is your role model and why?
My mom is my role model. She has taught me to be kind to everyone and to see the best in others. She cares so much about me and has helped me to discover my talents and supports me in everything I do. She has worked so hard to provide the way for my acting and modeling career.

Please finish this sentence:
I am possible because I am strong and have a desire to succeed in life. I am a fighter and not a quitter.

Why do you like Isossy Children and how does it make you feel when you wear Isossy Children clothes?
I like that the Isossy brand is unique and it is recognized for its ethnicity. It is edgy yet conservative. I really like the black leather dress from the Glam Love collection.

What words of wisdom do you think every child should grow up knowing?
Every dream is possible if you work at it and don’t give up when it gets hard. Remember, there are 1,000 no’s for every yes.

I am Possible with Natty Goleniowska

(Written with help from my Mum Hayley)

I am Natty and I’m ten years old.

I like horse-riding, watching films, singing and dancing. My favourite thing is having a friend for a sleep-over and swimming in the warm sea. I have a big sister called Mia and 2 Chihuahuas. I’m also a model and love going on TV. Sometimes I talk to student midwives and doctors.

I have Down’s syndrome and I am beautiful.

I am possible.

What inspires Natty?

We all have a lot to learn from Natty. She truly lives in the moment, and lives each day to the full. She treats everyone as an equal, no matter how famous they are she will still blow them a raspberry if she feels like it!

Natty has had to overcome obstacles in life, such as heart surgery when she was 2 years old and she needs a bit of extra support and effort to learn to do some things. But she goes through life joking and making new friends wherever she goes – most of the time. She does have her moments like the rest of us.

Natty adores the simple things in life. Not many children do an impromptu song and dance when they find their favourite cake in the shop.

What are Natty’s dreams for the future?

She would say to go on X Factor. I would say for her to lead as independent a life as possible with support. To get a job, live with friends or a partner, maybe get married one day. To enjoy all the same things as any other young person.

Tell us a little about being a model – you were one of the first models in the UK with a disability - what does this mean to you?

Natty was 4 years old when she first began to model and made her first live TV appearance on ITV Daybreak. In a way it has always been a part of her life every since and she takes it in her stride. She thinks that modelling is just fun, dressing up and playing with new friends. Her feet are firmly on the ground.

To me and other families with children with additional needs the symbol of children like Natty modelling is one of greater inclusion, of us all wanting to see ourselves represented in the media, of all children having worth. Natty she just squeals with excitement when she sees her face in print or on a poster.

Who is your role model and why?

Natty loves Little Mix like many little girls, but she also looks up to incredible women such as Sarah Gordy, who is an actress with Down’s syndrome, or Karen Gaffney who swam the English Channel and does public speaking. She also has the condition.

Please finish this sentence: I am possible because…

I see no limits.

Natty is unaware of the boundaries others set on what she can do because of her condition. She works tirelessly to achieve whatever she sets her heart on, and breaks down barriers and busts myths in the process.

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 love the patterns. I think the Isossy dresses look really different and unusual, definitely clothes for girls with attitude! Natty likes to stand out in a crowd.

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

You are unique. You are special. You are loved.

My Mum Hayley blogs about our family at Downs Side Up and she tweets and shares our pictures on Instagram @DownsSideUp too. We sometime do Facebook Live films as well, and lots of children watch with their parents https://www.facebook.com/downssideup/

My sister Mia and My mum wrote a book called I Love You Natty for children.

I am Possible with Kayla Cortes

Kayla Cortes is a 15 year old actress, model, and videographer. She first started out modeling when she was 11 years old, and fell in love with it. Kayla has a passion for acting, this includes cinema and theater acting. More than anything though, she loves creating her own movies and short films. Kayla enjoys spending time camping and going on adventures with her friends and family. Right now she lives with her parents in Seattle, WA, but goes down to LA every once in a while, usually during pilot season. Kayla is full of energy and enthusiasm and loves making new friends!

What inspires you?

Something that really inspires me is music. When I hear a good song I just want to get up and do something positive! The music flows through my veins giving me energy and liveliness. It never ceases to amaze me how much music affects me. From an elegant classical piece to an upbeat pop song, it all works for me as long as I can connect with the sound.  

What are your dreams for the future?

I see myself reaching out to people to make the world a better place in my future. It doesn't really matter if it's through acting, modeling, or film making, as long as I am doing my part to help this beautiful world, I'm good. I dream to change the way people treat everything around them. I want to inspire people to make a difference and be kind and thoughtful to all, especially themselves.  

Who is your role model and why?

I think my role model is...... this is hard! There are so many extraordinary people in my life, from my family who is always there to support me, to my friends who tolerate my craziness(and may even join me in my dance through life). But I think the person who I most look up to is... Michael Jackson! I know, I am not even distantly related to him and I never even met him in real life. That doesn't stop him from being one of the greatest people I've ever known about. He created music that sent a positive message into the world, which is evident in "Man in the Mirror," and "Heal the World." Michael managed to change the earth through music, and I aspire to do that with what I love. Even when he was going through hard times, he put on a brave face and continued doing what he loved. He made mistakes like all regular humans, and that's OK. We all make mistakes, you just have to learn from them. I still listen to his music when I need an energy boost (or am just craving some good ol' Jackson tunes). 

Tell us about something you’ve achieved that you’re really proud of and why?

Going to New York for NY Fashion Week last year with my lovely sister and photographer Valerie (Valluv Creations) was a test as well as a treat for me. I proved that I could have fun while still staying safe and responsible in a new place. I actually got to walk in two shows! I still can hardly believe it. My parents trusted me to be careful in a city that I had never been to, and stay professional in "uncharted" modeling waters. I will never forget how much fun I had walking around New York's Time Square and ice skating as snow rained down on my nose and eyelashes. I also got to cover a few shows for Youngstrs kids fashion magazine with my sister. The fact that I got to go to such a big city for such a huge event, all thanks to Youngstrs, blows me away. Instead of being in front of the camera, I was now behind it. Overall, New York was amazing. I'll remember the friends I made (especially Cailyn an her mom Julissa) and the experiences I had for the rest of my life. 

You are covering NYFW in February - what are you most excited about doing for this?

This year I get to cover New York Fashion Week again for Youngstrs Magazine. The clothes last year were stunning and unique, so I think that's what I'm most looking forward to this year. All those designers working their hardest to bring us such breath-taking clothing, it's crazy how much work they put into every piece! No doubt everything will be trendy and never-before-seen.  

Please finish this sentence:I am possible because... 

I am possible because of my uniqueness that boosts my self-confidence and allows me to help others boost their self-confidence. Everyone should know how to feel comfortable in their own skin. A lot of people, especially younger folks, find it hard to be proud of themselves. We need to remedy this. No one should feel the need to hide who they are, that's just not right.  

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

I think every child should grow up knowing that they can be whoever they want to be. Sometimes it seems like if we show the world our true selves, we will get shunned. You just need to know that as long as you are true to yourself, nothing can stop you. Once you realize that trying to reach beauty and body expectations is more stress and energy than it's worth, you will be a lot happier. Everyone is different personality and body wise, and that's OK. Those differences are what make you, you. A You completely unclonable. A You that can never be recreated or replaced.  

What does Isossy's message of embracing modern heritage mean to you?

To me, Issosy's message of embracing modern heritage is something that everyone should know about. You should accept and celebrate who you are no matter where you come from.  

What’s next for you?

What's next for me? That's a hard question because of the amount of things I am doing, want to continue doing, and want to try doing. I'm going to keep modeling, acting, and going to more fashion shows if I can. I love doing photoshoots and will continue meeting new photographers and working with ones I've met before. I want to keep spreading good morals and ideals into the world in any way that I can. I found that I enjoy film making, and want to make more films for people to enjoy.

I Am Possible with Samantha Buggle

Hi! My name is Samantha Buggle; I am 12 years old and I Am Possible. I was diagnosed with Epilepsy when I was three years old.  That means, there is unusual activity in my brain that causes me to have seizures. I have over 100 seizures a day, but I never let that stop me from achieving my dreams. I am an actress, a model, a blogger, and an advocate for any child that has something that makes them special.

I decided to start an online community entitled “Overcoming Epilepsy with Sammy” to share my story with the world and give other kids who might have illnesses or diseases hope. I also created a fundraiser for the Epilepsy Foundation of America and have raised thousands of dollars for the organization. My favorite thing about sharing my story is hearing from kids all around the world and how I have inspired them.

I absolutely love fashion, performing, and the runway. A fashion event called East Coast Starz is where I began to model. Starz really gave me the confidence to come out of my shell and even if I had a seizure onstage my new modeling friends where there to support me and cheer me on. I am now represented by Shirley Grant Management, it is a dream come true! They represent stars on Disney, Nick, Broadway, and movies! I couldn’t believe that they choose me and then I realized when you believe in yourself, anything is possible.

It can be difficult to have Epilepsy. The days are exhausting, and I miss a lot of it because of my seizures. It’s hard to keep up in school, I’ll probably never be able to ride a two wheeler, and I can’t stay outside for long periods of time. I think having Epilepsy makes me special, thought. I have the opportunity to do more. I can make a difference. I can inspire others to take risk and dream big, no matter what their limitations are.

What inspires you?

I am always inspired by kids who make a difference. That is the reason I

created Overcoming Epilepsy with Sammy. There are so many kids all around

the world who have done amazing things despite the obstacles they faced

like *Malala* Yousafzai, or Alexandra Scott. I’m always inspired by anyone

with passion to achieve their dreams.

What are your dreams for the future?

In the future, I see myself on set. My brother, Ryan Buggle is a child

actor who has been in lots of movies and TV shows. I want us to be a team.

I will produce and direct, and he will act. I also want to continue my work

with the Epilepsy Foundation and maybe have my own clothing line too!

Who is your role model and why?

My role model is my mom, Janine. My mom is a NICU Nurse. She is like a

super hero. Everyday she saves little babies lives. She is doing important

work and making a difference. I can only hope that one day, I grow up to

work hard just like her and make a difference in other people’s lives.

I am possible…

I am possible because I never let my limitations keep me down or stop me

from achieving a dream of mine. Having over 100 seizures does not define

all of me. I am so much more; I am an actress, a model, a friend, and a

sister. I am more than all of the hospital visits, and all of the

medicines. I am brave, and I am possible because I believe in myself.

I learned about Isossy Children at East Coast Starz. I immediately fell in

love with the clothes they are comfortable, fun, fashionable but more than

anything I love how they are more than just clothes! Isossy Children

connects you with the whole world! Isossy Children celebrates bringing

girls together and celebrating their differences at the same time, and that

is what I’m all about!

Words of Wisdom..

Do all things through kindness. Kindness is the most important thing in the

whole world to me. Sometimes there will be bullies at school, sometimes you

will have a really bad day, but you have to try to approach each situation

with kindness because that’s what makes the world a better place.

I Am Possible with Ava Ranae

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

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.
