| Kheris Rogers started a clothing line with her sister after she was bullied for the color of her skin |
Kheris Rogers can't forget the grade school humiliation. During an assignment where the students had to draw themselves, the teacher handed the shy dark-skinned girl a black crayon instead of a brown one.
"I was the darkest of all of them," the stunning 11 year old recalls of her classmates. "But they were all African-American."
Rogers had earlier transferred from another school to escape the incessant bullying. It didn't work. Her complexion set her apart, a label she couldn't shed.
But now Rogers owns her label, literally. Her clothing line is called "Flexin' In My Complexion." The brand has caught fire among some big celebrities.
