The Black Doll Affair

Empowerment. Education. Entertainment.

Welcome to The Black Doll Affair (TBDA), founded by Mama Doll, a Barack Obama Presidential Volunteer Service Award-winning self-esteem movement.

Since 2007, TBDA has welcomed members such as Beverly Johnson, Taye Diggs, Gabrielle Union, Misty Copeland, Danny Strong, Shuler King, the late Naomi King and thousands of citizens who continue to prove that confidence is contagious and Black is beautiful! Seen in Essence, Oprah, Vanity Fair and Vogue, we are The Black Dolls!

We celebrate Black women & girls by encouraging sisterhood, love for the Doll in the mirror, kindness towards the Doll next door, and compassion through philanthropy. Reversing Doll Tests results, where children identified the Black doll as bad and ugly, we promote and donate toy black dolls for positive play. Healthy confidence and good ol' fashioned fun through memorable event experiences, these are the Affairs of The Black Dolls!

Be a Doll, give a doll!

Love Hue!™

They said dark-skinned Dolls should play it safe… especially those over 50…

I am thrilled to announce that The Black Dolls of The Black Doll Affair are in Vogue, for the 7th time in our 18-year history! Celebrating America's 250th birthday, American Vogue's Summer 2026 issue features Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams on the cover. The issue highlights America's diversity and commemorates the nation's 250th anniversary.

About the Advertisement: As a regional small business advertiser, our ad appears in the Seattle/Tacoma subscriber edition of Vogue, not the national newsstand edition available worldwide, which features major advertisers such as McDonald's, Maybelline, Ford, and other large corporate brands. These regional editions are distributed exclusively to Washington/Seattle subscribers and should already be arriving in mailboxes, if you haven't received yours yet.
