The reDOLLution

The ReDOLLution is a creative initiative of Timbuk2 Academy that uses sewing, hand-stitching, and storytelling as a powerful pathway for Black girls to embrace the boundless ecosystem of girlhood. Through this experience, students created dolls that each hold their own unique story. These narratives are not always reflections of the girls’ personal lives, but they are authentic stories of Black girlhood;  stories imagined, reimagined, and reclaimed. The act of sewing allowed the girls to slow down, take joy in the process, build childhood memories with their sisters, and embrace the wholeness of who they are. Each stitch became an act of love and affirmation, reminding them they are worthy of care, worthy of joy, and worthy of experiencing the fullness of girlhood.
