The Hidden Damage of Toy Aisles: Why Representation Matters in Children's Toys

Elenor Mak shares a powerful narrative on the importance of representation, particularly in the toy industry. 🎎

Imagine being a young child, stepping into the toy aisle of a major retailer, only to find rows upon rows of dolls that bear no resemblance to you. 🚶‍♀️

This experience, Mak argues, can be damaging. It sends a message to our children about their place in the world, their beauty, and their worth. It's a silent signal that they don't fit into what is considered 'normal'.

But Mak and her team are on a mission to change this narrative. Their journey is about creating a doll that looks like us, but it's also about more than just physical resemblance. 🎎

It's about breaking stereotypes, promoting mental health awareness, and empowering children to see their own beauty reflected back at them.

This is the power of representation. It's not just about having a doll that looks like us, it's about what that doll represents. 🌏
