Ebony Jade HiltonDr. Ebony Jade Hilton was born the middle of three girls in a small town called Little Africa, South Carolina. As a child, books became her first love and were the window to the world outside of her tiny community. Reading these pieces dared her to deam big and to not fear the unknown because the answer was often found at the turn of each page. These life lessons stayed with her throughout her school years. In 2013 Dr. Hilton became the 1st African American female Anesthesiologist to be hired at the Medical University of South Carolina since its opening in 1824. She since then has found her passion in community outreach where she grew to recognize the importance of a character like Ava. She hopes to provide a face of resemblance for all those little girls, who like her, searched for themselves in the characters they grew to love. Read More Read Less
