How did you come to be in this line of work?
I am the proud mother of 2 biracial
children: a school aged girl and a baby boy.
I know firsthand the difficulties in finding hair products for my
daughter’s fine textured but super curly hair.
It’s almost impossible to find art supplies like crayons or markers that
represent actual children’s faces because brown black and peach just don’t cut
it. Dolls are almost always one extreme
or the other; I have never seen a doll resembling a biracial person in a store.
I know many other families with biracial and
multiracial children through birth, adoption, or marriage and all have
expressed the same frustrations as my family.
I wanted to be able to provide a one-stop-shop for these types of items
to help families and children to be able to teach about self-identity,
diversity, and understanding.
7. How long have you been doing this?
Just starting out, the site went live
June 1, 2013!
8. Who would benefit from your product?
The people who would benefit from my
products would mainly be families who have biracial or multiracial children due
to birth, transracial adoption or fostering, or through marriage /
step-parenting. People purchasing gifts
for families in these categories would also benefit. I may offer a gift
registry in the future if it becomes something my customers want.
