As we enter the season of giving, let’s remember that every child deserves to see themselves reflected in the joy of the holidays. Toys we give children shape how they see themselves and their futures. For black children, dolls with various skin tones, diverse action figures, and books featuring their culture foster belonging and self-pride.

This holiday season, let’s choose gifts that embrace diversity by:

• Seeking toys that celebrate all shades of beauty.

• Supporting brands that prioritize diversity.

• Teaching the importance of representation through thoughtful gift-giving.

What is your most cherished memory of receiving a toy/gift representing your culture?
