[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.] 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.
Very beautiful

I really love the beauty of this doll. I will agree that her hair was completely different than advertised on the box. I cut her hair into the Afro, that I was hoping that she’d arrived with. She’s EVERYTHING ! I still recommend this doll.
Love It!

I agree with some of the other comments regarding the hair. I was expecting a doll with hair that was more kinky than curly. More of an afro look and texture. Otherwise, this is still a very beautiful doll and I'm looking forward to more dolls and clothing from this line.
Beautiful doll!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've been making a conscious effort to increase the diversity reflected by our daughter's dolls and this is a fantastic addition. Love having opportunities to represent beauty of all kinds and foster conversations about respecting and valuing differences in ways that are impactful for our children!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've got a daughter who graduated from and one currently attending an HBCU. I got this HBCyoU Student Body President Doll for my granddaughter and she loves it. My daughters are so excited to see the representation. This is perfect. From her skin to her hair, to the clothing, the quality is excellent. The only thing I'd say is that I thought her complexion would be darker and the hair either thicker or coarser. Overall we love her and she will be enjoyed for years to come.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The HBCU Student Body President Doll is gorgeous. It is refreshing to see a doll little girls can aspire to be like. It is rare to find dolls that look like children of color or mixed heritage. I plan to save this doll for my great granddaughter as I imagine this is what she will look like when she grows up. She will have a ball changing the clothes playing with this doll.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter absolutely loves her new doll! She’s stunning with her crystal Tierra and sparkling white gown. She actually can be used to play with many of the other dolls that are in many department stores! Her gown is interchangeable with other outfits(not included). This doll empowers young girls to dream of how they can be successful in todays world!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Alyssa the Cheer Captain is GORGEOUS. She is a large, 18 inch, doll with voluminous, natural, hair (and a lot of it!), and a beautiful face and clothing. She is seriously more beautiful in person than the photos show and she is so well made. My 6 year old daughter loves her and her curls, and I love that this doll really let's that hair run wild. Not many dolls have hair like hers, and representation is important! All in all, we LOVE HER
Disappointed with hair texture.

Like others have stated my doll has a looser texture than in the promotional pictures. I specifically brought this doll because it was suppose to have 4c hair. That said it is a gorgeous doll, the face sculpt is beautiful and its well made. Just not what I was expecting, I'm debating on keeping her in my collection or returning.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of the most beautiful dolls that my daughter owns. She is 18 inches tall so she’s plenty big enough to notice all of her detailed features. Her hair is soft and curly. Her dress and accessories are removable. The tiara is very detailed. Her gown is shimmery and she comes with heels.
