Folks must have been bored this day cause they caused havoc on her Instagram page with many citing that she should have taken black dolls instead to help instill positive images for the African babies. In response Eudoxie responded:
I personally think this a bunch of B.S. Would it have been a nice for her to include black dolls in her gifting package? Of course! But folks are missing this was a charitable act- Eudoxie didn't have to do what she did. I would be remiss to not discuss the effect that brown dolls have on black girls (colorism, bleaching, self hatred are still HUGE issues in our community) but that's something that the parents, teachers, relatives have to instill. We can't criticize this young woman for what seemed like a genuine and warm gesture. Folks need to have a stadium full of seats.
But what do you think? Was Eudoxie wrong for gifting the children with white dolls?
