 Black Barbie Doll Drive in Columbus | 

“We’re holding the Black Barbie Doll Drive, where we collected new and used Barbies to give to the girls at the BTW Girls Inc. and we’re turning them into natural hair Barbies,” said Candace McBride, Organizer for the Black Barbie Drive. 

In Columbus, Frolific is hoping to makes the wishes of needy young girls come true this holiday…But this time with a “twist.”

“Natural, is chemical free hair or hair with no perms.  And you can wear it curly, you can wear it locked, or you can wear it straight.  It’s just without a relaxer,” said McBride.

Hiding behind the hair, is a more important message: Teaching girls to accept who they are.

“Children need to know the importance of loving themselves and the way God made them and they don’t need any alterations to their hair or bodies to make them better…That they’re good enough the way that they are,” said McBride.
