Black dolls are hard to find, and they dont get much exposure, they tell My Modern Met.
Even when you might find some, they are expensive.

The second one is an identity problem; we want Black kids to have toys that look like them.
Our dolls are not only for Black kids.
Their mission is truly inspiring, and their reach doesnt stop there.
