Read Gaines-Bryant's WTOP News online article, here. Black Enterprise re-ran the article a day or so later here. If that wasn't enough (there is never enough positive exposure for a woman on a mission to shine a positive light on the significance of Black dolls to boost children's self-awareness and esteem, and for adults to also gain the same positive vibes from three-dimensional inanimate images that are positive representations of themselves), Savannah Taylor of Ebony magazine put her beautiful spin on the story and enhanced the article with lovely vintage photos. Read Ms. Taylor's article here.
So this woman, this Black-doll enthusiast, author, founder and curator of DeeBeeGee's Virtual Black Doll Museum is feeling quite honored by the media coverage. May the exposure continue and awareness heightened that dolls are not just playthings, that there is a host of adult women and men who collect dolls designed for adult collectors, and women like me, who aim to preserve their historical significance. We are here and our dolls are, too.
