Children

The Sibahle Collection is a product of Bounce Essentials Africa, founded by Caroline Hlahla and Khulile Vilakazi-Ofosu in 2016. Sibahle is a Zulu word that means “We are beautiful”. The Sibahle Collection was born from the need to encourage our black children to be comfortable in their own skin! The first 2 dolls under this collection, i.e. Nobuhle (meaning the one that represents beauty in Zulu) and Bontle (meaning beauty in Sotho) have features that resemble that of an African child. The dolls smell of vanilla and have typical 4C Afro hair. Our hope with these dolls is that they can teach our black children how to care for their own natural hair from a young age as well as grow up being affirmed and taking pride in being African! The world is diverse, with people of different races. South Africa in particular, is affectionately known as the Rainbow Nation. We want every child to grow up aware of the beautiful and rich diversity that South Africa and the world at large has to offer. We are hoping with the addition of the “Rainbow Nation” Collection, we will teach children of all races to appreciate and embrace diversity.

Many moms are frustrated by the lack of sufficient representation in the children’s market, so we created a brand to fill that void. Anyone can guess that negative representation can hurt a child’s self-image, but many studies show that NOT seeing yourself represented can also have a damaging effect. It can leave a child feeling invisible and unimportant. Self-esteem is how much you value yourself and how important you believe you are in the world. Developing self-esteem is an important journey that all children will navigate, however, black boys and black girls are often met with limited representation and a world that candidly AND overtly tells them who or what they can and cannot be or that they are not enough. We created a brand for us, by us to support our mini masters in creating their own narratives. We are Mini Masters is here to support moms in their mission of raising children of color that feel good and positive about themselves. We are Mini Masters is here to help black children feel seen. We want to celebrate, uplift, and empower them with our confidence-boosting messages. We want them to have a positive ethnic- identity and love who they are deeply and proudly. It was important for us to go beyond message tees, we knew and understood the value of seeing yourself reflected, it sends the message - YOU MATTER. We want to become your go-to brand for all things HAPPY FREE BLACK KIDS!
