Beautiful face, but the body is stiff and the hair is too long and matted. I used hair scissors to get the desired look. I purchased all 3 for my daughter who likes them because they are pretty. A lot of work needed to be done to their hair and simply not worth it to me.

I bought this one, cheerleader, and queen for my grandaughters. I wish there would have been other options at Target. I would have bought them too. I love their size for toddlers and bigger girls. This is a great representation of dolls for all little girls. The color and hair are great! I will probably purchase fir my nieces too.

The doll size is great, and I love having an option for family that depicts positive images of people of color. I wish this doll had the cap and gown included like the 'Homecoming Nicole' doll.

This doll is beautiful. The only reason I couldn't give 5 stars is because of the hair. I would have loved for her afro to look like the one is the picture. Other than that, great quality and A+ on representation.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this for my granddaughter and she loves it. I'm so excited to be able to give her an HBCU inspired doll that looks like her. It's beautifully made and definitely a great way to share the magic of historically black colleges and universities.

I bought this doll for my daughter specifically for the Afro that appeared in the photo online! The loose curl wasn’t the look we wanted at all! I’ve tried fluffing it out but nah still not it!
My daughter loves it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a high-quality doll. The hair is smooth and the paint is also not cheap. My daughter loves it she changes clothes and brings them to school. She plays it during recess. I recommend this doll to anyone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The HBCyoU Student Body President Doll - Hope is beautiful. The natural style of her hair is something that I wish more companies would do showing the confidence and BEAUTIFUL natural style. The story behind the creator is amazing, definitely a collection I can get behind and support.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The HBCyoU Student Body President Hope is 18in tall. Hope comes with big brown eyes and dark curly hair. Hope wears the most adorable outfit complete with an HBCyoU t-shirt, a letter jacket, and white plastic sneakers, all washable. Hope is sure to inspire.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter loves this cheer doll. She has beautiful features. The pom-poms are secured on her hand so they will stay on when moving her arms. Both the pom-poms and the shoes are removable. Quality cheer uniform and the facial detail are impressive. Her hair is very soft. The doll's sizing is standard so other outfits fit easily.
