REPRESENTATION MATTERS : WHERE TO PURCHASE BLACK DOLLS

This week I shared my own experience regarding the lack of diversity growing up. You can read my article why representation still matters . This question/subject/issue about diversity and inclusion resonates even more in 2019.

Part of the insecurity in our adult life comes from the lack of representation like barbies, thin, muscular, this and that, perfectly looking doll. Though, it's important for little black children to grow around representative items so they become to know and love themselves. Black boys and girls need to know that they are not excluded from society and they should be able to identify themselves through books, movies, cartoons, and toys to help them build their image and shape their identity. Every child dreams about having a doll or a superhero but it should be every child’s dream to have a doll or superhero that resembles them.
