It took us a long time to process this email when we received it. We had to read the words several times before we could comprehend the message. And to be honest we still don’t know what to make of it. Do we feel anything? Apathetic? Not really sure. We keep looking at the words bitches referencing children and it’s offensive. Painful to believe children don’t need dolls. We hear so many stories of how dolls enriched people’s live. And when we hand delivered them it was a moment of elation, joy and sadness that we didn’t have enough for everyone. There is truth people need to eat. But joy is just as important! Imagination can provide food on your table. Now that gringo part....all ppl from the states Yankees even first generation island folks? #blackdollproject #loveisrevolutionary #unlearnracism https://www.instagram.com/p/CHw8RWQjnUI/?igshid=qcx6nsu9lnfw

WRITE YOUR LOVE LETTERS TO OUR CHILDREN IN DR, HAITI, PR. ⁣ ⁣ As an act of affirmation, we are sending Black dolls to the Caribbean to assert the love and power of our negritud(e) this fall/winter 2020! ⁣ As people of color, we have been stigmatized by the lack of representation in the media.
