The beautiful Nia by Brains and Beauty Dolls has arrived! This 18-inch vinyl doll, as previously reported, speaks 20 empowering phrases when her tummy (a cloth mid-section) is pressed. Nia has synthetic black locs, brown stationary eyes, and applied upper eyelashes. She wears a "Melanin" labeled tutu dress with purple sneakers. She has permanently inserted pearl stud earrings.
As usual, I took photos of Nia's box and the unboxing process as illustrated next:
An illustration of Nia dressed in a separately-sold denim set is on the bottom front of the box with a speech balloon that reads, "I speak 20 empowering phrases."
A larger illustration of Nia is on the back of the box with another speech bubble that reads, "You are beautiful!"
Below the back-of-the-box illustration is the following descriptive text:
I am outgoing, funny, honest, and creative. I love to write. I have dreams of becoming a journalist while traveling the world.
Nia was attached at the neck and legs to the box liner with cable ties. Her lovely head of hair was protected with a black hair net.
Freed from the box, Nia posed for her first picture. Isn't she gorgeous?
Nia's removable voice box is in the back of her cloth mid-section inside a zippered compartment.
The length of Nia's locs and the zipper compartment that houses the voice box are illustrated in this photo.
Nia has manicured fingers...
...and manicured toes.
In the next two photos, Nia models the separately-sold denim jumper and posed for a close-up of her beautiful face.
The denim jumper has a distressed right knee area. Red faux suede shoes are included with it.
She is so pretty and I love her deep brown complexion.
Nia posed with her sisters Malia and Khari in the next two photos which are followed by a video of the dolls.

Video Review
The Swahili meaning of the name, Nia, is purpose. One goal of Brains and Beauty Dolls "is to inspire little girls to embrace their uniqueness." Nia's addition to the doll line enhances the color spectrum representation of people of African descent and helps the company achieve its purpose.
Visit the Brains and Beauty Dolls website. It's never too late or early to buy anyone a doll even if it's for yourself.
