I would just like to say I have been following your blogs and I do agree that we need dolls that represent people of color more thoroughly. I myself am someone of Afro-Indo-Trinidadian descent and I feel like as a person of color we need to create our own companies and stop expecting companies owned by the white majority to bend to our needs or communities needs. It is the same for modeling agencies,movies, television, and mass media. Create the image you want to communicate to the world. I hear too much about people complaining and not doing. It becomes mundane and poisonous to the mind. focus on developing these companies that are designing beautiful brown dolls with array of features that are present all over Africa and abound. Furthermore knowing my personal ethnic lineage , my family is from the north of Africa, east, and sub-Saharan.We come from the Berber-tribe which has a big history of mixing, Euro-Asian, Han-China, Mediterranean Europe, and Nigeria. And Much more, I say this to say that even though it is true many of the dolls seem to be painted black, since we are the beginning of humanity do we not possess the same array of facial features seen in these dolls. I mean In Africa there are tribes of people who have slender noses, light-brown skin, wavy hair, almond-eyes, wide,noses,high-cheek-bones, flat -cheeks. Dude we have it all, relax. If you want to see dolls that represent you then design them and create a line. I am just saying it is disturbing how I see my people caught up on the problem and not creating the solution. All is said with love

Thanks for your hard work in listing the Fashion Royalty dolls on the DollWiki site. Adele is one fierce doll… and I don’t even own one. I need to change that.
