Founded by mother-daughter duo, Melissa and Esi Orijin, Orijin Bees’ Baby Bee Doll collection is now being featured in Amazon’s newly-released Holiday Kids Gift Book and recognized in their “Toys We Love” List for 2022. The collection is available in an array of skin tones and curl patterns representing features of Black and Brown children.
This recognition from leading online retailer, Amazon, is the most recent among a fast-growing list of the brand’s achievements, including being selected for Oprah’s Favorite Things 2021, placing as a finalist for Toy Fair’s 2022 Toy of the Year Award, and becoming a Mom’s Choice Award seal recipient.
“We are so full of gratitude to have been included in such an important catalog and to be highlighted as a proudly Black-owned business! Children all over the country will be able to identify with our dolls when they open up Amazon’s Toy Book, and that’s just amazing,” says Melissa Orijin.
Earlier this year, co-founder, Melissa Orijin, was also invited to participate as a speaker at the 2022 Black Girl Magic Summit hosted by Boss Women Media, in partnership with Amazon, which is now available to stream on Amazon Prime.
