​🌸 About Shanae Saxby​Shanae Saxby is the founder of The Princess Kingdom. A creative empowerment non-profit organization for children dedicated to inspiring and uplifting young girls and boys through fashion, STEM, crafting, and mentorship.​With a unique background as a children’s fashion designer, behind-the-scenes fashion photographer, and behavioral therapist for kids with autism, Shanae brings both artistry and compassion to her work.

Through inclusive programming, sustainable design practices, and opportunities to showcase their creativity at events like New York, LA, Paris, and Virginia Fashion Week, Shanae empowers the next generation to embrace their uniqueness with confidence and joy.​  At its heart, The Princess Kingdom is more than fashion—it’s a movement to build leadership, confidence, and community for every girl and boy.​" Welcome to The Princess Kingdom — a place where dreams grow, confidence blooms, and every girl and boy is celebrated.

CREATIVITY IS FOR EVERY CHILD

The Princess Kingdom is an inclusive Art-to-Fashion program welcoming children of all abilities, including children with autism, Down syndrome, and other special needs. We create supportive, hands-on experiences where every child has the opportunity to express themselves, build confidence, make connections, and shine. And our Kingdom includes the boys, too! Prince Charming gives boys their own creative space to explore art, fashion, design, confidence, leadership, and self-expression.

​

One Kingdom. Every Ability. Every Child Deserves a Place to Shine.
