However, while most young girls were busy designing Barbie’s next outfit, I was enthusiastically trying to figure out the best way to market and sell Barbie to my friends.

Iman set out to “change the very language that the beauty industry used to describe market segments” (Segran). In launching her cosmetics line, she wanted to tackled the beauty problem, not the cultural one. Iman refers to her customers as “women with skin of color,” instead of “women of color” (Segran).

Growing up surrounded by historical landmarks, creative arts, and Southern charm, I have always been an admirer of fashion and beauty. When I was a young child of five years, I would continually play dress-up and dream of becoming a Fashionista that assists movie stars and social elite for their red-carpet appearances. I wanted to contribute to others in seeing the beauty in themselves and the world around them. After about eighteen years, nothing has really changed within my mind-set. Today, I still dream of working in the fashion industry, but more importantly, making a difference in the world. In the process of making my fashion dreams become a reality, at seventeen, I secured enrollment at Northeast Mississippi Community College majoring in fashion merchandising.

These years taught me time management like no other while also leading me down the path of self-expression and competitiveness. Finding immense knowledge and encouragement from professors in little classrooms and civilians in a small Mississippi town perfected my willingness to strive to do my utmost best in every circumstance, whether it be reaching my goals or helping others. Attending Northeast Mississippi Community College opened for me a world of
