Jennifer Pierre, MS’16, was featured in an Oct. 12 DNAIndia.com article, “Dolls for Little Men,” about her new toy company, Melanites. The biracial, African-American, Indian, and Caribbean dolls—or action pals, as Jennifer has marketed them—look like their target audience: boys of color. Rather than creating macho action figures, Jennifer designed the dolls to be thinkers, doers, makers, and performers. Shipments are due early this year.
