Nigeria's Leading Doll Brand is Coming to America

[Southpaw]

“Empowering the African girl child” is the motto of Queens of Africa; a Nigerian brand of dolls founded by Taofick Okoya in 2007. The doll range depicts various African ethnicities, as well as a variety of African hairstyles (customers may opt for dolls rocking an afro, or alternatively one with braids or braid extensions). Okoya’s mission is to spread a message which enforces young black girls their self-esteem, allowing them from an early age to have role models they can relate to. This summer, Okoya and his posse of dolls will travel across several cities in the United States, to meet and greet American clients, while further expanding the Queens of Africa footprint.

He is going to do very well, and in time establish this as a cultural
icon. Black people who live in a white supremacist world will welcome
something that promotes a positive self image;

The Chinese will then seize this opportunity to make and mass export
these dolls at rates that undercut this man...

Ask me about this in 2020, and you will see that I was right
