I love that companies and brands are now on a mission to make everyone feel included.

This wasn’t the case at all when I was growing up, as a consumer I think it’s important that we are all represented.

Kay Black, aka Kay Customz, creates unique custom-made dolls inspired by real people.

She creates dolls of color, dolls with albinism and recently dolls with vitiligo.

Kay paints the skin of her dolls inspired by images of women and creates different styles fitting each doll.

“I love what I do and take pride in each custom design!” says Kay.

Check out her dolls below:
