Our Vision: To live in a world where every child knows their true beauty and intelligence.

The Queens of Africa program is dedicated, through the use of books, dolls, comics, music and animation series, to help empower children of African descent to be confident and matured ethically. The dolls and materials are designed, through fun and engaging materials, to subconsciously promote African heritage. Developed by entrepreneur and philanthropist Taofick Okoya, the program has reached tens of thousands of children across Africa contributing significantly to education programs, particularly in Nigeria. Queens of Africa celebrates being an African girl in the 21st century by drawing on the strengths and achievements of our ancestors and bring them up to date to empower and inspire today's generation of African girls. The website queensofafrica.com has lots of information about the Queens and the wider work the program is involved in.

Toys Like Me™ was created in early 2018 by an African American dad who noticed that most toys sold by major retailers do not reflect what children with brown skin look like. He wanted to create backpack dolls™ and other products that Black children could resonate with, that is, toys that would build character, self-esteem, and most importantly... self-awareness!

In 2001, the idea to develop dolls originally came from a simple desire to have doll that was a tribute to my sorority. Of course a Delta would want a Delta doll. This simple desire to develop a doll for myself has expanded into a collection of dolls that celebrate all the Black Greek Lettered sororities. In 2006 we began prototyping our 1st doll. We brought our 1st doll affectionately named, “The Essence of a Delta” to full production in 2010 where she made her debut at the 2010 National Convention for my beloved sorority. Our initial vision was to develop dolls that captured the image and character of the African American sorority sister. During product and development over the years the vision shifted and our goals expanded and we thought it was important to include dolls for children in our product offerings. To date we have designed 11 adult collectible dolls and are currently working to bring our children’s dolls to production for retail distribution. We are currently creating our newest edition of “Collegiate” sorority dolls. The first of the series is of course our signature “Essence of a Delta” doll and she is featured in a fully customized line jacket. She really is an awesome depiction of the collegiate Delta girl. She’s beautiful beyond words and we are so proud of her excellent quality, attention to detail and flawless beauty. “The Essence of a Zeta” collegiate doll will make her debut Spring 2019 and we are excited beyond words at how amazing she is! We can’t wait to share her with our fan base.

Hi, I’m Susan Jones the hands behind Giftedhands4ubyme. I create one of a kind crochet dolls of all shades of brown. I create these dolls with the likes of our little girls and boys. The hair on my dolls resemble our hair textures, the many that we have. I started this company because for years I noticed in toy stores, dolls that looked like my daughters were hard to find. If I found a black doll it was just a doll that was painted brown with the same type of hair like the others. One day my husband saw my frustration and said why not make your own. And that’s how giftedhands4ubyme got started.
