Mother Creates Line of Dolls to Help Black Girls Battle Insecurity

[Alexander The Great]

When her daughter began to express her desire for "yellow" hair and pale skin, Angelica Sweeting knew she had to take action. She dreamed up The Angelica Doll to reflect her little girl's beauty.


It turns out that full size dolls for Black girls are pretty rare. Sweeting bills Angelica as "the first natural hair 18-inch doll for young girls." That's astonishing and unacceptable, and Naturally Perfect dolls will fill a much needed niche.



She's launched a crowdfunding campaign get the Angelica Doll produced. If you want to see it for your daughter, niece, sister or even yourself, be sure to support.

very important post

 

[Blackking]

it's going to take A LOT more than that....

i meet a few black women a day.... i have rarely seen one that wasn't suffering from insecurity in some way. The entire lifestyle of your household has to battle it OR YOU WILL FAIL.

Proof this colorism shyt doesn't start with black men.

 

[feelosofer]

I'm supporting. We need more images positive images for young Black girls.

So the first doll type has natural hair that is trying to emulate that of straight hair associated with Cacs. lol


I do understand blacks have hair of all types, but a lot of them time its black females with kinky hair ,that have the insecurities about their hair texture. That's the first kind of doll this female entrepreneur should of debut.

I thought the same thing about this doll


And every pic

And every other doll that a black woman comes up wi th



It's sad but there is always a slightly pointed nose and that hair is never like my Own daughters



Then these same women will blame black men for these issues

Damn brehs lets get her funded first. She did state that she is going to make dolls of all shades and hair textures.

Angelica been fukked up. How she gon let her daughter develop that mentality to begin with

Edit: cute doll, tho. Wish her well.

 

[Mr.Big Meat McGee]

coool.

 

[Alexander The Great]

she's been funded

almost doubled her goal and still 21 days left

I bet if someone like Beyonce decided to create a huge line of dolls, she could make a killing AND provide some much needed representation for young Black girls and boys

From miami too

 

[Alexander The Great]

she's up to 60K she might triple what she was originally asking for

 

[Birdie]

She seems to have good intentions, but we know the majority of Black women's hair don't look like that. But maybe she chose that hair texture because she knew that's as much kink a typical Black woman would want to put up with.
