Bio: Flora Ekpe-Idang is the founder and CEO of Corage Dolls, a multicultural doll and book company that helps to elevate, educate, and encourage girls of color to be unstoppable. Flora’s inspiration for Corage Dolls came from her experience watching the documentary “Girl Like Me” and learning about the lasting impact that the lack of positive diverse representation in media and products had on Black children. Corage Dolls was created to celebrate authentic, black beauty, to educate and inspire children to learn about diverse careers and to build a sense of sistership among girls, families, and advocates for the empowerment of girls of color.
