Why dolls like me?
As Black woman and girls we don’t often see ourselves reflected; ‘Dolls like me’ reflects Black woman in their diversity.
Growing up dolls looked like anybody but us. When Black dolls did start to line the shelves they often didn’t have black hair or black features even as they did have black skin. Our dolls represent the diversity of hair texture, skin colour, physical features and age within the Black community.
Handmade by members of the Sistah Space community, the sales of these dolls directly support the work that we do.
