Hello B'huetiful!

Welcome to The Black Doll Affair Social Club!

Headquartered in Atlanta, Ga, this on and off line movement hosts members from all around the United States and overseas! Invited to the White House, heard on The Tom Joyner Morning Show, seen in Essence, on Oprah's O.W.N. network, The Food Network, Bravo, Style, BET, TV One & VH-1, The Black Doll Affair is a philanthropic social club and movement driven by women referred to as The Black Dolls! 

The Black Doll Affair is a self empowerment movement for black girls and women - NOT a black power movement for black girls and women to gather and talk about "The Man." Supporting roles within The Black Doll Affair are Porcelain Dolls, also referred to as Porcelain Pals. These women are not black and their role is important because they give an alternative voice to the white doll that's silent during doll tests. Located in our BDA Frat House, Brothas are men of all races in support of The Black Dolls and their Affairs. Porcelain Pals and Brothas join The Black Dolls in their mission to remind black girls of their b'huety! The Black Doll Affair Social Club offers a colorful experience for anyone looking to help change the ugly results of the historical doll tests, have fun, play well with others and make the world a better place... for ALL of us!

The Black Doll Affair slogan is "We're pretty...philanthropic!" This slogan reminds all the members of The Black Doll Affair to celebrate the beauty of the black doll. For the Black Dolls themselves, it reminds them that "pretty" has its place, but at the end of the day, true beauty is in service to others. The Black Doll's slogan is "Be a Doll, give a doll!" This acknowledges the Dolls consistent behavior as role models to children and adults, and honors their ongoing efforts of donating black dolls to young black girls for positive role play.  To quote the Founder of The Black Doll Affair, Mama Doll, "Dolls are more than toys, they reflect who we are!"

The Black Doll Affair is NOT about the color of your skin. It’s about loving the color of your skin NO MATTER what shade of black. It’s about self-esteem in hue. It's about feeling good the way you were born – dark or light. It’s about black girls and women conquering the self-defeating, self-limiting thought patterns of ‘I’m not good enough because I was born a black girl.’ It’s about loving HUE you are!

Come Celebrate with us!
