Debra Kaye Hoard Jones graduated from Pinkston High School and entered the Xerox Corporation Marketing Education Center, working in Customer Service in-house and in the field. Late in the 70s, Ebony Fashion Fair announced their annual lineup to 49 cities highlighting a ‘Size 14 Cover Girl Model’. Dallas was very proactive. Debra Kaye was the first professional full figure model for The Kim Dawson Modeling Agency and the rest is history. In the Ester Davis Showroom, she was tops in sales with buyers, specialty boutiques and classic ladies-of-distinction. She worked for State Rep. Helen Giddings for many years and was recognized for her work serving communities and solving problems. Debra Kaye’s work as a DIFFA Board Member brought new light to the organization and her beloved African American community was the beneficiary of her style and expertise.
