HOOD BABIES

HOOD BABIES are 30in. designer dolls that serve as symbols of black consciousness with values rooted in community and evolution. HOOD BABIES represent people from low income communities with big dreams despite their seemingly small reality.

These realistic luxury robots feature manual engineering, detailed articulation and messages meant to encourage healing and transformation. It pushes the message that aspirations of freedom, gratitude, and health can be attainable through the proper reprogramming of one’s mind by unlearning generational patterns.
