Bullied Teen Designs Her Own Prom Dress To Fight Bullying And Becomes Prom Queen
18-year-old Kyemah McEntyre designed a prom dress is anything but typical. The New Jersey resident, inspired by her African heritage, had a local seamstress from Markell’s Closet hand-sew the dress from McEntyre’s sketch. She explained the motivation behind her dress on Instagram and Twitter:
“I am 18 years old and I am undoubtedly of African Descent. As an artist I have a completely different point of view compared to most individuals. I am extremely analytical and observant,” McEntyre writes. “This is for always being labeled as, ‘ugly’ or ‘angry’. Thank God, stereotypes are just opinions.”
McEntyre was chosen to be prom queen, and this fall she will be attending the Parsons School of Design.

i just don't understand those ready-to-jump-out boobs on a Prom party.... hmm
OMG, A beautiful girl in an absolutely beautiful dress and you have a problem with her boobs! Get a freaking life would you! quit worrying about what others do or don't do and worry about yourself! I think she looks wonderful.....

How could they consider her as ugly? I think many people in New Jersey need new glasses. She's stunning.
I'm a little conflicted. The gown is gorgeous. The girl is likewise gorgeous, but I have a difficult time believing there's a high school that would allow that much top exposure. And her classmates call her ugly and angry and bully her but surprisingly vote her prom queen?
As inspiring as stories like these are the dress is far too revealing for a high school prom and this woman is model gorgeous. It wouldn't surprise me if it were made up to promote her design and name. There's just too much off here. If I'm wrong-good for her but if this is a scam it insults people who are actually bullied.
Load More Replies...They let her win prom queen so she would have a sash to cover her breasts
ha ha ha - exactly, and interestingly, with the sash on you can more appreciate the beauty of the girl and the dress.
