"I was bullied and they called me all kinds of names. One time I got stabbed by a pencil," the ten year old recalled about getting picked on.

Ify as she's fondly called sketches African-inspired designs for her 'ChubbiLine' brand herself and sews them with her grandma's sewing machine.

'I turned negative attention into positive attention,' she told the Today show. The 10 year old who started out making clothes for her dolls showed her debut collection at Fashion Week.
