TNCP Review (8) Part 1,reviews the lack of Black dolls and toys for Black children in Michigan

In episode 8 of the TNCP Review, publisher and show host, Rina Risper, has a discussion with co-host, Nova Wallace, about the importance of having Black dolls available for Black children. More importantly, Black boys need Black doll role models too. Every year during the Holiday, CVS on McNichols and Wyoming in Detroit, MI 48221 in a majority black neighborhood, the store proceeds to shelve 80 percent white dolls. In 2021, Sandra Epps spoke with management about this problem, and she was told that it was an upper management decision. She realized this issue was the same with Sam’s Club where more than 75percent of their shoppers at the Eight Mile, Southfield MI 48033 store are African American, and they typically never have dolls of color, however. As a doll collector and host of the Detroit Doll Show, Ms. Epps is privy to more doll resources because she does her research to find dolls of color.
