Fresh Dolls
The World of Entertainment, Publishing and Inspiration (World of EPI) was formed in 2003 with the mission of spreading joy by providing children with dolls that inspire dreams, promote intelligence and build self-esteem. We are guided by our hearts in creating beautiful multicultural products for multicultural children. We like to view ourselves as partners with parents and global communities by providing tools that lift the self-esteem of all children of color.
This journey has not been easy, but every morning I’m inspired to continue creating dolls that honor our children. In 2009, I created Positively Perfect Dolls (PPD), which includes 18" and 14" baby dolls. These award-winning dolls have custom blended skin tones, beautiful full lips, cute noses, and natural hair textures and styles. The line started with just two African-American dolls at one retailer. The collection has grown to over 20 dolls representing African-American, Latina, and Middle Eastern girls. Positively Perfect now has a doll fashion line and accessories. The PPD Collection is being distributed in the US, Australia, Dubai, France, South America, Mexico, Switzerland and in other parts of the world.
For four years, I’d carried the dream of creating a multicultural fashion doll line in my heart. I wanted older girls to see multicultural beauty reflected back to them during play. In 2017, FRESH was launched. They are called FRESH because they’re a new perspective on dolls. These dolls have custom blended skin tones, beautifully authentic facial features, trendy fashions and hairstyles that include, braids, afros, afro-puffs, wavy and curly styles. FRESH doll bodies are specifically designed to be more representative by having fuller hips, thighs and more realistic waists. I designed the dolls to be poseable so girls could dream of what they want to become while posing, bending, and playing with their dolls. Since traditional dolls clothes will not fit these shapely bodies, FRESH dolls have their own fashion line that is “elegant with an edge”.
