The Healthy Roots Dolls team would like to share our love and happiness.
I founded Healthy Roots Dolls was founded 2 years ago as a college student with a big idea. With over 600 kickstarter backers, the help of mentors/advisors, an accelerator and an amazing team, I am proud to present our first doll Zoe!
At@risdmakes I started a journey that I had no idea would take me as far as it has. Healthy Roots Dolls was born out of what I saw as a demonstrated need for children’s products that for children of color. Specifically, black girls. In 2015, RISD and Brown University helped me take my prototype and turn it into a successfully kickstarter funded company.
I could not have done this without the support of all the people who have worked with me over the past two years. Shout out to the OG Healthy Roots squad ❤
Healthy Roots Dolls mission is to ensure that no one feels less than because of the kink of their curl or the color of their skin. We believe that all hair is beautiful hair!
Zoe is an 18 inch doll with big curly hair. Her natural hair journey started when her mother helped her big chop. Together they learned the ins and outs of natural hair care from the best products to use to how to style it. She has gone from teeny weenie afro to big hair, don’t care.
Zoe wants to help other girls learn to love their girls. You can order your Zoe doll today at www.healthyrootsdolls.com
I promised my students that on the last day I would come to class sporting an Afro with my fist in the air. I did not disappoint ✊

Shout out to Allure for their tutorial on
Cultural Appropriation (i.e. teaching white girls how they too can make their hair into an afro). Here’s to the authentic Afro ✊ To quote the incomparable Amandla Stenberg, “Don’t Cash Crop on My Cornrows”

I had a wedding to go to. Shaved sides is clearly my brand. I can’t imagine I’ll try growing them out again lol
22 October 2018
I snapped. I thought about it and couldn’t remember why I wanted to grow out the sides cut less than last time though and it’s nice to have more hair on top.

My birthday! So naturally I had to make sure this round of braids were fresh af. My hair has grown and I have edges! Never thought I’d make it this far
Patience kids. Patience….
I’m missing my hair so much. I took out one braid just to see my hair and look. I’m gaining some growth.
My ends (at least that piece) feels so good. I haven’t had a trim since July tho…
I don’t want to take my braids out just yet. I want to make it to 2 months which will be on Jan. 2nd. I want to take them out the week of Jan 11th. I want see if I can gain a few more inches. LMAO! Plus I’m being super lazy. I know once I take out my braids, I would have to do my hair. Ugh! the struggle…
4 more weeks to go!

When you think of the 90s, it’s hard not to think of Brandy; she was everywhere from music, to television, to fashion. And right along with her was a fresh head of braids to make us all rush out and get some of our own (don’t forget the baby hairs gelled down). Let’s take this time to pay homage to those glorious braids.
Let’s not forget the barbie doll!
