Charlotte Francis is a maths teacher, single Mummy to her only daughter, Cali and Founder and creator of Biankha and Friends. Charlotte was inspired to take the entrepreneurial route in creating her dolls when her daughter fell out of love with her natural hair after starting school. Charlotte wasn't able to find a suitable black doll to empower her daughter so decided to make her own. Charlotte's doll company aims to empower young girls to embrace who they are, know their true history and have high aspirations.
The brand’s mission is to educate young children about their true history and encourage them to strive to reach their full potential, whilst taking pride in their culture and communities.
“I thought of Biankha’s name after being drawn to the feminine ankh symbol and felt like I wanted young girls of colour to be embraced in a positive light. I also wanted them to have high aspirations and have the confidence to embrace being multi-faceted; being in tune with their heritage whilst being fiercely successful and knowledgeable about their history. I want to inspire little princesses to become queens.” CEO, Biankha and Friends – Charlotte Francis
