These characters are only possible thanks to the contributions from Nini, who graciously offered her time and energy to ensure the style and texture of the hair would be something to which Black men and boys could relate. For each Josiya figure sold, a portion of the sales will be donated to Color of Change, an organization which champions campaigns devoted to the pursuit of racial justice and systemic change.
This listing is for one Josiya figure only; other items sold separately.

Handmade in California Every item is handmade in our small shop and is as unique as the fingerprints holding it. The inspiration for each product has been born from seeing what captivates the little souls in my life. While I create the design with those concepts in mind, the wood has a story of its own to share. Although every figure is modeled after the same template, each one has a unique grain pattern and develops a personality and distinct characteristics as it evolves through the process of being cut, carved, sanded, and painted. These variations are expected and valued as part of the nature of handmade toys and we hope that you enjoy playing with your art!
