Viola Davis says that her daughter will NEVER play with dolls that don't look like her to avoid falling into the trap of the false standard of beauty
When it comes to indirectly etching false Eurocentric beauty standards into the minds of young black girls, Sister Davis is not having it when it comes to teaching Genesis.
As for choosing her daughter’s play toys, Barbie dolls are a no-no.
“Mostly she plays with small animals. I don’t want her to begin to create images throughout her life featuring women that do not look like her at all that she puts too much value in,” Davis told Essence Magazine.
