This doll was created by the Mattel Corporation to recognize that the African and African -American populations are diverse in looks and styles. This doll wears tribal clothing, short hair, light brown skin, and soft facial features. The doll is a representation of a rural tribal person from Kenya but because of the generic nature of the tribal clothing this doll could represent any person from the African Diaspora.
