GoDaddy Guide and Detroit Local Nneka Julia introduces us to the inspiring mind and unstoppable creator of Healthy Roots Dolls, Yelitsa Jean-Charles. Brought to you by GoDaddy. https://www.godaddy.com/icons.
Detroit is filled with small business owners and entrepreneurs making an impact on the world around them. Yelitsa Jean-Charles is one of these makers. While working on a project in design school, Yelitsa had a moment of serendipity — she realized she could make a difference in little girls’ lives through a simple toy. After learning that not finding a doll that looks like them negatively impacts their self esteem, she set out to bring her project to life. Fueled by her identity and experiences, Yelitsa created a new kind of doll that represents young Black girls, from the color of their skin to the kink of their curls. Not only do Healthy Roots Dolls encourage young girls of color to embrace their diversity, but they also teach them how to take care of their beautiful curls. Starting with just an idea, Yelitsa learned the ins and outs of growing her business, all while defying the odds stacked against her as a Black entrepreneur. As Yelitsa works hard to continue advancing the brand, her long-term vision of empowering and educating young Black girls is just getting started.
