MEET MISS DANI

Name: Danielle "Dani" Li
Age: 12
Born: September 12 

Miss Dani Li, a 12-year-old with a unique blend of Jewish and Chinese heritage, is a thoughtful introvert with a passion for writing and storytelling. Born on September 12, 2002, Dani lives in a luxurious French Château-style home in Beverly Hills with her mother, Christie, a West Coast Fashion Editor at Teen Vogue, her father, David, an international journalist, and her younger sister, Abbey. Her cultural roots deeply influence her identity, as her father descends from an ancient Jewish community in Kaifeng, China, while her mother hails from Shanghai. Dani’s polished, preppy style is inspired by designers like Dior, favoring timeless skirts, blouses, and her signature headbands, which she coordinates meticulously with her outfits.

An academic achiever and president of the Writer’s Guild and Fashion Blogger Club, Dani channels her creativity into her blog, Discover Dani, where she explores fashion trends and history. Though she is introverted, her analytical mind and organized nature shine in her writing. She plays the piano, enjoys classical and pop music, and finds inspiration in everything from her family’s traditions to her love of fashion. Dani’s dream is to follow in her mother’s footsteps and become a respected fashion editor, using her words to blend the past and present in the fashion world.

Despite her accomplishments, Dani struggles with being taken seriously as more than a blogger and seeks to prove her credibility as a fashion writer.
