HBCU Grad With 2 Degrees in Psychology Creates Dolls to Build Confidence in Black Girls

Nationwide -- Shaneisha Dodson, an African American entrepreneur from Los Angeles, California, and an HBCU graduate with two degrees in Psychology, is also the founder of The Brilliant Girl Doll Company, which has a line of dolls that are designed to empower and build confidence in girls of color. She has already sold thousands of dolls, and each doll comes with a fun theme or story.

For example, her “Sugamama” doll is a beautiful superhero who isn’t afraid to fight a scary monster, but her weakness is cookies. This 18-inch doll comes with a superhero dress and an apron. Her “Hey Sis” doll has been met with enthusiasm from doll lovers because of the pink overalls and pink bow. This is a 12-inch cutie that represents friendship and sisterhood among young girls of color.

All of her dolls are associated with royalty, creativity, and ambition to encourage young girls to dream big.

Newly Revised Book Asks Black Families, “What Could You Do With A Million Dollars?”

 Get Rich While Black... without Being an Athlete, Entertainer or Drug Dealer (Revised Edition) by Chuck Starks, a newly revised book, is a must-read for anyone who aspires to live an abundant life with more than enough money to spend, live well, give, and leave a robust inheritance to heirs.

According to Starks, Black Americans have literally built this country, yet have not been able, because of discrimination, to reap the benefits of their labor without taking major risks that jeopardize not only their health but also their life, family, and legacy.
