I kid you not when I saw these dolls I literally wished I was five years old again. Makedaa Dolls is a doll company located in the UK that makes dolls that look just like your little girl with a full on fro.
The dolls are so adorable I had to drop everything and share them with you. The business was started when one of the owners (pictured below) tried desperately to find a black doll for her daughter and came up short.
According to their website Makedaa project has Ethiopian roots and was created to help little black girls who sometimes struggle with self-esteem feel better about themselves and their hair.
Via the website:
Makedaa is a strong, powerful, and beautiful Ethiopian queen, ruler of a large empire in East Africa. In a world where the standards of beauty rarely acknowledge them, little black girls sometimes struggle to build self-esteem. In that context, “Makedaa” becomes the symbol of acceptance and positive identification.
Our magnificent dolls are designed not only with black skin but also with black features, healthy silhouettes and luxurious afros for our precious little ones to feel recognized, beautiful and loved.
