Jewels Morris-Davis is the embodiment of why it's so important to get it right. Thanks to her work with Kristen Jordan over the past few years, Jewels is a girl transformed. Sitting in a school office in a hoodie, with a gray-and-white-striped scarf around her neck, she projects a fierce confidence. "I don't need anyone to tell me I'm beautiful," she says, eyes flashing.
