As parents, we can influence our children and shape their view of the world. We can do this by exposing them to different cultures and showing them that everyone is unique, special, and important. Now introducing Fresh Dolls – a collection of multicultural dolls representing ethnicities from all around the world!
About The Fresh Dolls
The creator of Fresh Dolls is Dr. Lisa R. Williams. She has a Doctorate in Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Marketing and Logistics from The Ohio State University in Ohio. She was the first African American to receive a doctorate in Marketing and Logistics from The Ohio State University. Through hard work and perseverance, Dr. Lisa attained unprecedented success by becoming the first African American professor to earn tenure at Penn State University. She was the first female professor to receive a multi-million dollar endowed chair at the University of Arkansas, Walton College of Business.
Her goal through the creation of Fresh Dolls is to represent a diverse line of Multi-Cultural Dolls (African American, Afro-Latina, Latino/Hispanic, Caucasian, and Mixed-Race/Bi-Racial) to represent ethnicities from all around the world.
Fresh Squad Platinum Collection Boy Dolls
The Fresh Squad Platinum Collection is the crown jewel of the Fresh Squad Doll Line. This collectible line is distinctively unique, with innovative hairstyles and power fashions at their best! The dolls are bendable and posable with thirteen points of articulation. They are great for children 6 years old and up and for doll collectors.
Miles
Miles is a musician and enjoys playing multiple musical instruments. He spends most of his time working on improving his skills. And he loves teaching kids the love of music.
Miles is wearing natural, authentic Fresh-Finity Locs.™ It is a First-of-its-kind Patent Pending innovative dreadlock hairstyle. He is sporting brown denim jeans, a gold shirt with a gold crown, a faux suede bomber jacket, and matching Fresh Signature Purple Bottom boots.

Their shoes are from the Fresh Signature Purple Bottom shoes and are removable. And all the Fresh Dolls have a custom blended skin tone and rooted hair.
Shanell
Shanell is blazing a new trail. As the youngest in her huge family from San Pedro, Belize, she recently became an intern for local government officials with the goal of becoming the first East Indian woman mayor on the island. She already excels in her classes and related fieldwork at her college in the Virgin Islands, yet she never loses sight of where she comes from or who she is. Her favorite food – fry jacks, chimole, and Johnny cake – reflect that as they are all staples of Caribbean cuisine steeped in heritage. We eagerly await to see what comes next for Shanell and how far her vision and ambition take her!
Moli
Moli always felt confident and courageously different from the kids who grew up with her on the Hawaii farm. During her time at high school, she organized a protest against animal cruelty and received a ton of praise from teachers, friends and family for going the extra mile to make a difference in a cause that was close to her heart. With an outgoing personality, Moli has no problem meeting new people and building relationships. When she is not advocating or fighting for human or animal rights, Moli loves catching up on classic black & white movies, frolicking around the beach with her friends, and sampling her mother’s delicious home-cooked Filipino cuisine. The energy that radiates off Moli is not something that you can put into words, but it is evident in everything she does and all of those who meet her can feel it!
Carissa
Carissa’s life has been a show-tune reverie ever since she began her theatre career in high school. She was a dynamo on the stage, pushing herself to catch every last detail and nuance of each performance. When she wasn’t in production rehearsal or saving up tips from her waiter job for trips out of state, Carissa eagerly hit up thrift stores for vintage clothes and worked tirelessly to learn more about costuming. Now teaching acting at her friend Carmen’s elementary school, Carissa continues to spread her enthusiasm through singing and dancing with the young students. Her days are full of delight as she teaches them new techniques and surprises them with creative costumes for each performance. She loves it when all their hard work comes together in an amazing show!
Autumn
Autumn has had a unique upbringing, having been raised with a strong belief in the power of education and a dedication to dreaming big. This early inspiration was sparked by Autumn’s earliest international trip as a youngster when she visited the pyramids of Egypt at just five years old. From then on, Autumn was determined to explore the world, and while still in high school, she founded her own school travel club so she could do just that. Now she is living out her dreams as a celebrated oceanographer who gets to traverse the globe for work – and shows others how to do it too! Autumn also shares her adventures through her YouTube channel, offering insight into all the places she’s been and inspiring others to explore our beautiful planet.
Keisha
Keisha is a true southern belle! Born in New Orleans to two successful entrepreneurs, she never questioned her own capabilities as a creative. With her calm demeanor and expert command of French, Keisha had a passion for writing from an early age. When she was young, her bedroom walls were covered in the poetry and short stories she wrote. Her first job after college was writing greeting cards in San Francisco and she’s loving it! Even better than the job is living there with her best friend (and fellow artist) Paisley! Experiencing the city alongside another budding writer has spurred on their creativity even more – truly, they are an unstoppable duo!
My Thoughts
The Fresh Dolls Collection carries a range of multicultural dolls, including African American, Afro-Latina, Latino/Hispanic, Caucasian, and Mixed-Race/Bi-Racial dolls. These dolls are designed with care and attention to detail so that each one is unique and looks like its own individual. It supports a culture of diverse representation for all kids so that they can experience different cultures through playtime. Plus, each doll has a story about her background and culture that helps educate your child about diversity.
Why Diversity Matters
Diversity matters because it teaches our children to be accepting of others no matter what their cultural background or ethnicity may be. It encourages empathy and understanding, which will help them become compassionate adults in the future. We must also remember that having access to diverse toys helps children develop their sense of self-identity by allowing them to see how they fit into a larger picture. This can help boost their self-confidence while teaching them how rich our world really is when it comes to cultural differences.
Introducing your child to different cultures through toys is an important step toward creating a more inclusive society. One filled with acceptance and understanding of people from all walks of life. The Fresh Dolls Collection provides an opportunity for parents to foster diversity education while having fun with their kids at home. These multicultural dolls are sure to bring joy into your home while helping teach your little one something valuable along the way.
