Nyssa PowelL

Co-Founder and visionary of Legacy.
Nyssa Powell is a dynamic entrepreneur and fashion industry enthusiast with a passion for creating unique and stylish eyewear. As the founder of the private label brand Reignn Eyewear, Nyssa's journey into the world of fashion entrepreneurship began long before her college years at the Larry L. Luing School of Business at Berkeley in New York City. But there, she pursued a Bachelor of Business Administration Degree with a focus on Fashion Merchandising Business Management, laying the foundation for what her brand and career is today.

Early Beginnings and Passion for Fashion
Nyssa's love for fashion was ignited at a young age, growing up in Al Ain, a vibrant town in Abu Dhabi, where she lived above bespoke dressmakers. This proximity to fashion craftsmanship introduced her to the unique skill of pattern making and apparel design. As a young teen, Nyssa learned to sew using a needle and thread then shortly after advancing to her first sewing machine. Her entrepreneurial spirit emerged early on when she launched her first business venture, Fab Bags, a brand of custom bows and handbags designed and sewn by none other than herself.

Evolution of a Brand
Her initial success with Fab Bags paved the way for the evolution of her business into FabDesigns, where she expanded her offerings to include clothing alongside accessories and bags. This experience in design and product development further fueled her passion for fashion, ultimately leading to the creation of Reignn Eyewear in 2019. What began as a project for her Product Knowledge and Branding class has blossomed into a thriving brand known for its cutting-edge designs, quality craftsmanship, and evangelical message.

Making an Impact in the Industry
Nyssa Powell has not only brought her own visions to life but has also played a pivotal role in helping other brands articulate their product and brand identities. Her ability to interpret and transform ideas into tangible, high-quality products has earned her a reputation as a trusted partner for merchandising and product development consulting. With a steadfast commitment to her craft, Nyssa Powell continues to make waves in the world of fashion, entrepreneurship, and community.

Stacy Rose

Co-Founder of Legacy.
Stacy Rose was born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica. At the age of 15, she migrated to the United States to reunite with her parents, who had moved ahead years earlier to pave the way for her and her younger brother to pursue the American Dream. She continued her education at Miami-Dade Community College, Florida State University, and Florida International University, earning both Bachelor's and Master's degrees in International Business and Marketing.

Stacy’s love for the performing arts began early. At just nine years old, she made her stage debut in a production with her church’s drama troupe. She quickly found success in regional and national speech and drama competitions across Jamaica. After relocating to the U.S., her passion for the stage and screen only deepened. While completing her academic journey, she stayed connected to her roots in the arts, performing in numerous theatrical productions and gradually expanding into film, television, commercials, voiceover, radio, and print work.

Her impressive body of work includes roles in The Rookie, 9-1-1, Outer Banks, First Wives Club, Hightown, and Dolphin Tale, to name a few. She gained widespread recognition for her recurring role as “Dr. Robbins” opposite Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson on HBO’s hit series Ballers, appearing across three seasons. More recently, she starred in the award-winning film Life.., which received honors at multiple film festivals both domestically and internationally. For her performance, Stacy earned the Best Actress award at the Los Angeles Indie Short Film Fest. She can currently be seen in Little America, the acclaimed Apple TV+ anthology series. Stacy has also stepped behind the scenes, producing the feature film Break the Stage, released in 2021.

For many years, Stacy has dedicated herself to mentoring and working with young people in theatrical productions—guiding them both artistically and personally through workshops, stage plays, and community initiatives. Her commitment to service extends beyond the stage, as she actively gives back to communities in both the United States and the Caribbean. She has led numerous school supply and hospital supply drives, helping provide much-needed resources to underserved children, families, and healthcare facilities.

In addition to her work in entertainment and community service, Stacy has a strong presence in radio. For over a decade, she has hosted Island Praise, an internationally syndicated Caribbean Gospel music show broadcast weekly across Africa, the Caribbean, the Pacific, and the United States. She also co-hosts the Love Doc & Stacy Rose Show, a dynamic weekly radio program in South Florida that blends music, talk, and community topics—bringing inspiration, insight, and heart to the airwaves
