Serlina Boyd, founder of the UK-based Cocoa Girl, has announced the launch of the Cocoa Girl Princess Agency, a new initiative aimed at creating opportunities for young Black girls in the modelling and media industry.
Set to officially open in April 2026, the agency is designed to connect young talent with global campaigns while addressing long-standing issues around representation and self-esteem.
Boyd, who first gained recognition for launching Cocoa Girl—widely regarded as the UK’s first magazine dedicated to celebrating Black girls—has continued to expand the brand into a broader empowerment platform spanning publishing, community programs, and now talent development.
According to Boyd, the Cocoa Girl Princess Agency will operate on a non-traditional model, taking no commission from its talent. Instead, participants will retain 100% of their earnings, with the initiative focused on building confidence, independence, and long-term economic empowerment.
The launch reflects a growing push within the creative industries to create more inclusive pipelines for underrepresented groups, particularly at an early age. By extending the Cocoa Girl ecosystem into talent representation, Boyd is positioning the agency as both a commercial platform and a social intervention—one aimed at reshaping narratives and expanding access for the next generation.
Industry observers say the move could further strengthen Cocoa Girl’s evolution from a media brand into a full-fledged empowerment ecosystem for Black children and families.
