@harlemshappyworld Happy Valentine’s Day lovers! Harlem woke up this morning to books from her LaLa, treats from her mama, and a doll that looks so much like her she wants to name her Harlem! Lol. This Valentine’s Day feels so different. I’m so grateful that she is able to see that representation matters, read positive books with characters that look just like her, and play with Dolls that mirror her! May you all be covered in kisses and hugs today! 🥰🖤
