Flora Ekpe-Idang from Corage Dolls. How Her Story and Passion Began In High School, the Creative Research Undertaken To Begin Her Business and Why Representation is Lacking and Needed In the Doll Industry.

In episode 47 we spoke with Flora from Corage Dolls. Flora is
passionate about providing diverse dolls especially for those in
under represented communities. Flora shared her story of how the
spark grew after watching a documentary in High School and how
she has incorporated doll research in many different aspects over
the years. Flora will introduce you to the character Aaliyah and
inspire you by showing how one person can make a difference on so
many. Learn more about Corage Dolls HERE.  Featuring the
song "Infamous Entertainers" by local musicians Space Hug.

Flora Ekpe-Idang is the founder and CEO of Corage Dolls, a
multicultural doll and book company that helps to elevate,
educate, and encourage girls of color to be unstoppable. Flora’s
inspiration for Corage Dolls came from her experience watching
the documentary “Girl Like Me”  and learning about the
lasting impact that the lack of positive diverse representation
in media and products had on Black children. Corage Dolls was
created to celebrate authentic, black beauty, to educate and
inspire children to learn about diverse careers and to build a
sense of sistership among girls, families, and advocates for the
empowerment of girls of color.
