Kyemah McEntyre is the high school senior who broke the Internet with her African inspired prom dress she created herself. We are positive you remember her gorgeous creation and amazing confidence to wear it. (She KILLED IT.)

Well, the young lady is back, but this time only her smoking talent as a designer is on display. The college bound young lady caught the attention of Naturi Naughton with her prom dress and was approached to create a red carpet look for the rising Power star.

Naughton plays Ghost, Omari Hardwick, wife on the hit show Power airing on the Starz network. Apparently Naughton and Kyemah are from the same hometown and the star actress wanted to support the hometown younger who clearly has an abundance of fashion talent.

From NecoleBitchie.com’s interview with Kyemah:

Naturi contacted me through e-mail, and we talked over the phone about her ideal dress. She explained to me that she wanted to connect with her African roots as well. I explained to her that my prom dress was my first design ever and that her design would be my second. So, of course, I asked her to bare with me. Naturi and her beautiful soul welcomed me despite my experience with Fashion Designing. She wanted to shed light on young people from her community [East Orange, New Jersey] and that she did. I enlisted a local seamstress by the name of Markell Mockabee, who brought my design to life.

Not bad for a new high school grad who hasn’t stepped foot into design school yet.

Despite the recognition, Kyemah says that her drive hasn’t changed much, however, her biggest goal is to inspire young women.

As a result of going viral, my mailbox has changed in numbers, but my faith and my drive has not changed. People ask me all the time how does it feel, and I tell them it’s just amazing to be celebrated for just being myself. I consider myself to be an artist, fashion designer, and self-identity activist. I actually planned on people to recognize my dress locally, because I wanted to inspire little girls to be themselves, however, it this has definitely exceeded my expectations.

OUTSTANDING! We love stories like this, especially when our young people have a serious talent and are support by those already making a move in their field and industry.
