Healthy Roots Dolls is on a mission to empower the next generation by bring diversity to the Toy aisle. Our goal Christmas 2024 is to donate dolls to girls in need through our partners Little Miss Flint and Zoe's Dolls.
Little Miss Flint
Mari Copeny aka “Little Miss Flint” is the 15-year-old activist and philanthropist helping kids embrace their power through equal opportunity. From her hometown of Flint, Michigan she used her voice when she sent a letter to President Obama about the water crisis. Her standing up for her community led President Obama approving $100 million dollars in relief for Flint, MI.
Mari continues to use her voice to speak on social justice issues such as environmental racism. Mari raised over $600,000 for her Flint Kids project giving out 178,000 backpacks and school supplies for back to school, alongside her Christmas Toy drive and other initiatives around holidays.
