Building Joy, One Stitch at a Time
At Black Dolls Matter®, our workshops and events — both virtual and in-person — bring creativity, culture, and community together. Each gathering celebrates the power of art, storytelling, and play to heal hearts, inspire confidence, and strengthen connection across generations.
Whether you’re joining us online or in the studio, our programs invite you to:
Create handmade dolls that reflect love, identity, and heritage.
Learn from artisans and storytellers through our Healing Journey Doll Story Series™ and Locally Made Maker Sessions.
Connect with others in uplifting spaces that celebrate belonging, self-expression, and cultural pride.
Coming Soon
We’re planning new virtual and in-person experiences designed to nurture both the maker and the soul — from hands-on creative workshops to reflective community conversations and virtual circles of joy.
Past Highlights
Every gathering begins with love and a belief in creativity’s power to heal, empower, and unite.
