At 12 years old, Diamond Shakoor is one of the best chess players in the country. She has played in close to 250 tournaments and is a seven-time national champion. At age 8, she was the youngest African-American female to ever go undefeated in a National Chess Competition.

Diamond's father, Abdul Shakoor, started teaching her to play chess at age 6 when she showed interest in the game. They moved from Columbus, Ohio to St. Louis last year in search of increased competition and a more predominant chess culture.

Playing chess competitively means that Diamond has to travel. She needs sponsors to help cover her expenses for several tournaments this summer. Tameka Green, an Independent Stylist with Stella & Dot, has offered to donate 20% of the retail value of any items purchased through Diamond's e-boutique to the Diamond Shakoor Chess Fund.
