EMPOWERMENT FOR BLACK GIRLS AND WOMEN
FBKPage | FBKGroup | IG | Members Meetup
In "Doll Tests", black children chose the white doll as pretty and good while identifying the black doll as bad and ugly. On TV, we see black women behaving less than dolling. Good or bad, how we perceive ourselves is learned unconsciously in childhood. Becoming a philanthropist, giving away black dolls, playing with black dolls, living and toy, is a great way to reverse negative notions and rethink our internal concepts about ourselves and each other. These, are the Affairs of The Black Dolls and our "pretty...philanthropic" solution to disempowering social issues affecting our community. "Be a Doll, give a doll!" To become a Doll, there are NO membership fees, simply purchase your Doll Tee. Then follow the easy steps to get involved and begin life as a Doll. Sponsored by Macy's & Mattel (Barbie brand), join us for social change, philanthropy and play. #theblackdollshavemorefun
