Dolls have been around for centuries, gradually changing in appearance based on society’s beauty standards. It’s become a standard toy that most children enjoy playing with as it allows them to unleash their creativity and imagination. A doll also helps a child with their language, emotional and social skills, all of which are an important part of overall development and growth. These types of toys teach them to interact with people and directly lead them to real-life situations that are within their environment.
However, when it comes to purchasing a doll for your child, you’ll find a myriad of options. But essentially, they’re all white dolls with blonde hair and blue eyes. While, this may reflect only a percentage of the world’s population, biracial and black children often don’t have proper representations. To combat this misrepresentation and vocalize identity issues, our dedicated team at Brain & Beauty Dolls have created three beautiful black and biracial dolls, Malia, Khari, and Nia.
