Mari Copeny, also known as "Little Miss Flint," is a young activist who made headlines for bringing attention to the Flint water crisis. As a doll brand committed to promoting inclusivity and diversity, we were inspired by Mari's story and created a doll in her likeness. But the Mari Copeny doll is more than just a toy – it's a symbol of empowerment and hope for children everywhere. In this blog post, we'll explore why the Mari Copeny doll is such an important addition to our collection and how parents and kids can get involved in the movement.

Representation Matters
When children see themselves reflected in the toys they play with, it can have a powerful impact on their self-esteem and confidence. The Mari Copeny doll is a positive representation of a young girl who took action to make a difference in her community. By playing with the doll, kids can be inspired to become agents of change themselves.

Learn About Activism
The Mari Copeny doll comes with a booklet that tells her story and includes information about the Flint water crisis. This is an opportunity for parents and kids to learn more about activism and how young people can make a difference in their communities. Use the booklet as a jumping-off point for discussions about social justice and how we can all contribute to a better world.

Get Involved in Local Activism
Mari Copeny didn't just bring attention to the Flint water crisis – she also raised money for clean water and organized a back-to-school drive for kids in her community. Encourage your children to get involved in local activism by volunteering, fundraising, or organizing their own community projects. The Mari Copeny doll can be a symbol of their own commitment to making the world a better place.

Empowerment through Play
Playing with dolls can be a way for children to explore different roles and identities. The Mari Copeny doll is a reminder that kids can be activists and agents of change, even at a young age. Use the doll as a tool to empower your child to speak up and take action when they see something that needs to be changed.

Inspiring Creativity
The Mari Copeny doll can also inspire creativity in children. Encourage your child to write stories, create art, or make videos about activism and social justice. Use the doll as a character in their stories or as a symbol of the positive impact that young people can have on the world.
