A Joyous Moment on The Jennifer Hudson Show

This past Tuesday, December 3rd, was truly special for Beautiful Curly Me! Our 12-year-old CEO, Zoe Oli, had the honor of sitting down with the incredible Jennifer Hudson on her National TV show. The conversation was filled with warmth and inspiration as they discussed Zoe’s journey, the power of representation, and the mission of Beautiful Curly Me.

Representation Matters

Zoe opened up about how Beautiful Curly Me began—a dream sparked by her own experiences of wanting to feel seen and celebrated as a young Black girl. She shared how our dolls, books, and puzzles go beyond playtime, becoming tools for empowering young girls to embrace their natural beauty and unique talents.

Zoe also highlighted our Buy One, Give One mission, which donates a doll to a girl in need for every one purchased. This initiative is central to our goal of encouraging confidence and self-love in girls everywhere. She has a big goal this holiday to donate 5,000 dolls! If you want to join in and gift-a-doll to a girl in need, visit our giving back page here.

Making History!

During the interview, Zoe proudly spoke about her historic achievement as the youngest Black entrepreneur to have her products sold in the toy aisle at Target. This milestone is a testament to her hard work and serves as inspiration for young entrepreneurs everywhere. As she said on the show, she is excited to see many more youth entrepreneurs launch products on shelves.
