Kyemah McEntyre is a young woman who became widely known after her prom dress design broke the internet.

The African print prom dress East Orange, N.J., student Kyemah McEntyre created was a fashion moment. Shortly after, 3LW artist and Power actress Naturi Naughton hired McEntyre to design a dress for her to wear to the BET Awards. Again Kyemah’s design became an online sensation.

McEntyre said she initially wanted to wear her African-inspired dress to the prom to send a message to other teens that it’s okay to be yourself, and that natural beauty is too be loved and admired. Not only did she garner lots of attention, but she was also crowned prom queen. But there is a lot more to McEntyre than her prom dress. McEntyre, who is raising funds to pay for the tuition at Parsons School of Design on GoFundMe.com, is also an artist with plans to build a business that will incorporate both her paintings and her designs.
