MeccaNATIONALITY: Black AmericanAGE: 16

She’s sweet and intelligent, but knows how to go a little Bronx when needed. She may be a little conceited, but she’s always down for her friends. As for the naysayers -- “fuck da haters!”

DominiqueNATIONALITY: Puerto RicanAGE: 17

Dom is the face of the new Borricua. It is no longer about dark lip liner, light lipstick and long ponytails with bamboo hoops -- it’s all about kicks, snapbacks and fleeky, natural makeup. Don’t be fooled though, she is real quick to tell you what’s on her mind -- in English AND Spanish.

Koko

NATIONALITY: Jamaican and ChineseAGE: 16

Koko is not so good at math. Sorry. Nor does she ace all of her science classes. But if texting were a class, she would have an A+. Every group needs that person to co-sign on ish. That would be Koko. She has a hashtag for everything.

Londyn

NATIONALITY: Nigerian BritAGE: 16

Londyn is a lover of music. Her taste ranges from Erykah Badu to Billie Holiday to today’s ratchetness. She is also the social advocate in the group. Especially when it comes to folks who look like her. She’s a cool, revolutionary sista.

La La

NATIONALITY: BlackAGE: 17

La La, formerly Lorenzo, is a proud transwoman. Most definitely the diva of the bunch, her lip gloss is always poppin, and her eyebrows are always on fleek. She slays all day every day.

Jaya

NATIONALITY: IndianAGE: 16

Jaya is the sweetheart of the group. She is the one to remind the crew that sometimes love is the answer, and not necessarily a mouthful of cuss words. She admires people from afar and falls in love quickly.

Naeema

NATIONALITY: Black AGE: 16

Naeema, a Muslim from Harlem, truly lives up to her name -- benevolent. She does tons of charity work and loves to learn about cultures outside of hers. Bilingual like Dom, she speaks English and Arabic.
