Celebrating Black History Month Through the Lens of a Child: An Ode to Love, Legacy, and the Stories We Leave Behind

Black History Month is not just about remembering where we’ve been. It’s about choosing what we pass on.

The Legacy of Black Dolls and Why It Matters

The Legacy of Black Dolls and Why It Matters

What I love so much about toys is that they build your imagination, help spark creativity, and serve as a comfort and a companion. A doll is often one of the first toys a girl has and when I first saw myself reflected in one, I lite up with joy and happiness knowing that I mattered. That’s the same feeling many young girls especially girls of color have when they finally see themselves and with beautiful Black dolls there’s a rich history and legacy.
