Young CEO
CEO Bio
My name is Desiray Anner, and I’m in the 6th grade. I am the founder of Black Comfort, a brand I proudly started on October 1, 2025. Black Comfort was created to be more than just a clothing store — it’s a movement built on empowerment, comfortability, confidence, and nice looks through fashion.
We believe what you wear should not only look good, but also make you feel powerful and proud of who you are. From stylish clothing and fresh shoes to inspiring magazines, every item we offer represents self-expression, culture, and confidence.
When you walk into Black Comfort, we want you to instantly feel welcomed, comfortable, and seen. Our goal is for every customer to leave feeling confident in their style and secure in their comfort — all day and all night.
My goal is to sell a lot of clothes and keep my business up and running, and I’m so happy and proud that my brand is in this fashion show. Black Comfort is about wearing your crown daily, standing tall in your identity, and expressing yourself boldly through fashion that feels as good as it looks.
