One Love Dolls

Our One Love Dolls represent the beauty in all people. They were created to teach love and give little black boys and girls representation. Handmade in Jamaica, our dolls come with genuine Nigerian fabric. Our top favorite is the Harriet Tubman doll.

These dolls are great for classrooms, at home and office space.

From Community

Keep up the necessary work!

I love my new dolls and African carving. It’s reminds me of home and I can teach my children about their culture. #harrietTubman
