Happy Zoe’s Dolls Day! 🎀

We’re teaming up with the City of Opa-locka and Mayor John H. Taylor, Jr. to spread some Black girl magic through Love Letters to Black Girls, a Zoe’s Dolls program!

The assignment? Simple. Write a love letter, sponsor a girl, and help us make her day a little brighter!

🎂 P.S. It’s our founder & CEO’s birthday too! And while she loves a good birthday gift, making a Black girl smile might just be her favorite. 😉

We loved welcoming these amazing young girls back to school and celebrating the start of a new year with a sweet treat from @dunkin ! 🍩

Thank you, @mothercarolineacademy, for continuing to welcome Zoe’s Dolls into your beautiful community and allowing us to be part of such a special moment. We’re wishing all of your girls and students everywhere an amazing school year filled with growth, confidence, joy, and endless possibilities!

I’m excited to share that I’ll be a guest speaker at the TRIIBE Next-Gen Summit in New York this September!

On September 12, I’ll join an incredible group of changemakers for the “Half a Life of Impact” panel, sharing my journey of founding Zoe’s Dolls at just 5 years old and how a childhood mission grew into a movement centered on representation, confidence and empowering girls.

TRIIBE is bringing together 35 next-gen nonprofit founders, philanthropy leaders and changemakers for three days of conversation, connection and impact and I’m honored to be part of it! 💫

Every student travel program is unique.

Every challenge is different.

That's why the best preparation isn't built on theory alone—it's built on lessons learned in the real world.

That's the foundation of every Saudade Global Pathways training.

Because when the unexpected happens, experience matters.

Big news for Zoe’s Dolls! 💖

We are incredibly honored to receive funding from the Green Family Foundation.

This investment is more than a grant. It’s an investment in young Black girls, their confidence, their dreams, and their futures. Because of this support, we’ll be able to expand programs that empower girls through representation, leadership, mentorship, and opportunity.

To everyone who has believed in our mission over the years, thank you. Every doll distributed, every workshop hosted, and every girl reminded of her worth has been possible because of a community that believes representation changes lives.

We are deeply grateful to the Green Family Foundation for believing in our vision and investing in the next generation of leaders. We can’t wait to continue building brighter futures, one girl, one voice, and endless possibilities. 💗

One week down. 🩷
This week I wrapped up my first week as a summer intern with @pointsoflight Points of Light in Washington, D.C., and it feels like such a full-circle moment.

When I was 11 years old, I had the honor of speaking at the Points of Light Conference as the youngest person on a panel of incredible changemakers. Back then, I was just a little girl sharing the story of Zoe’s Dolls and dreaming about making a difference.

Now, years later, I’m back, not as a speaker, but as an intern, learning from the very organization that inspired me all those years ago.

My first week was unforgettable. I jumped right into the Social Impact Conference, helping welcome attendees and board members, facilitating icebreakers, supporting conference events, and even sitting with the CEO as she prepared for her opening keynote. Every day challenged me to learn, listen, and grow.

It’s amazing how life comes full circle. What started as a 5-year-old girl who simply wanted every little girl to have a doll that looked like her has grown into opportunities I always believed and imagined would happen.

I’m so grateful to the Points of Light team for welcoming me and for allowing me to learn from people who are creating meaningful change around the world.

Here’s to the rest of the summer. I’m excited to keep learning, serving, and growing. ✨

When we are seen.

Visibility can sometimes mean vulnerability.

Critics will make sure you hear them.

Supporters often assume you already know.

But every once in a while, they remind you.

And when they do, you realize something important:

The loudest voices are not always the most representative ones.

A challenge for all:

If you appreciate someone, tell them.

If you support someone, let them know.

Your words might mean more than you realize. by @zoesdolls

Honored and humbled to be selected for the 2026 @triibe__talk (TRIBE) 100, the definitive global list recognizing nonprofit founders under 30 who are making an impact in communities around the world.

What started as a 5-year-old girl’s vision to empower girls who looked like her through dolls has grown into a movement that has empowered thousands of girls through representation, service, and leadership.

I’m grateful to everyone who has supported the Zoe’s Dolls journey over the years. This recognition belongs to our volunteers, partners, donors, and the incredible young people we serve.

I look forward to connecting and collaborating with fellow changemakers through TRIIBE as we continue creating positive impact in our communities.

This Memorial Day, we honor the nearly 200,000 Black soldiers who served in the Union Army during the Civil War.

Some were born free. Others escaped slavery and enlisted believing their service could help secure freedom, citizenship, and a better future for generations to come.

They fought through unequal pay, harsh conditions, and some of the most dangerous assignments of the war — yet they still served with courage and conviction.

Today, we remember the Black soldiers who sacrificed, fought for liberation, and never made it home. Their legacy lives on through every generation that continues to push freedom forward. ❤️🖤💚
