The Melanie Dolls has released one product offering and it speaks for itself. When unraveling the Breonna doll, you will be delighted by the stylish all-Black attire designed by Thomas and the bountiful hair paired with elegant earrings. Thomas’ inspiration for the adorned look stemmed from her real-world experiences as a Black woman and an opportunity to pay homage to the Black Panther Party.

“I was inspired by the Black Panther party and I know that they always wore all black. I loved what they stood for and the values they stood on,” Thomas said.

She continued: “The hair is my Black experience in life, so they’re hairstyles I’ve worn in my life or that I’ve seen a Black woman wear before.”
