Earlier this week Aisha Phoenix, a writer for Media Diversity UK, contacted me for a brief interview regarding the importance of black dolls for children of color.  I was happy to answer her questions.  My answers and her well-written article regarding this subject and the upcoming Black Dolls Expo to be held tomorrow (Saturday, October 26, 2013) in North London can be read at the following URL/link.

Thank you, Ms. Phoenix, for soliciting my comments and for finding them useful.

I Want One Just Like Me - UK Doll Event

I had the pleasure of "meeting" Ama Gueye after visiting her Operation Sankofa website where a celebration of black dolls and black heritage takes place. I enjoyed reading Ama's personal quest to seek knowledge about her heritage and viewing the gallery, especially the images of Dolly and her dolls.

Ama's upcoming black doll event is what connected us. While I am not able to attend this London, England event, I offered to share information about it here. Spreading the word about the celebration and appreciation for the need of black dolls anywhere, anytime, and in any form is one of the things I enjoy doing.
