It's Black History Month, and it's time to celebrate Black excellence! And what better way than to reflect on the power of Black voices and storytelling that have historically been a tool of empowerment for us all, especially during unprecedented times.
In a world still grappling with systemic racism and social injustice, the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy remains a powerful source of hope and equality. Yet, what’s often overlooked is how his teachings and actions also served as a foundation for championing women’s rights, particularly those of Black women.
Today when social ills and political conflict can feel all encompassing, Corage Dolls aims to be a beacon of hope and inspiration for Black communities, particularly Black girls and women.
What happens when none of the dolls look like you? While Black dolls have since drastically expanded, there still lies a gap in representation overall, with mainstream dolls failing to reflect the diversity of the real world. This lack continues to reinforce narrow beauty standards, leaving Black girls feeling excluded, sending a subtle yet harmful message about who’s valued and celebrated.
At Corage Dolls, our goal is to encourage girls of color to be unstoppable and the 2024 Olympics taught us just that through the important lessons that can inspire anyone to reach their full potential! Check out the blog.
