Most of you know about the Black Doll Test(click on the phrase to learn more). It was used to gage how children felt about race. In this study you are able to see Black children and how they felt about themselves. If we have not learned anything from that study we hopefully learned the importance of providing positive words and environments for children of color to play. Most importantly, I think we learned the role that Black dolls can play in a child's life and how they grow to feel about themselves.
I recently helped to support a Kickstarter campaign to produce a doll that not only is beautiful but provides positive words to encourage children's self esteem development. The doll recites 20 positive phrases to help reinforce their self esteem.
The first doll in the Brains and Beauty Collection is Malia, She is a beautiful 18in doll that gives American Girl a run for their money. Check out the features and tell me if you agree. With a wonderful price tag of $85 and with the right marketing this doll should be a hit!
