Widline Pyrame has expanded her Fusion Dolls kiosks to Faneuil Hall, where tourists from around the world can now see them.

with her collection of diverse dolls at a kiosk at the Westgate Mall in Brockton. Since then, she has expanded, opening a full store at Westgate and then kiosks at South Shore Plaza and the Providence Place mall before this new spot in Faneuil Hall.

"For me, it means everything because we're changing history. When people come here and they're like, 'Oh my gosh, you have Black dolls here.' They get really happy because it's something they don't usually see," Pyrame told WBZ."When I was younger, we really didn't have dolls that look like us, you know what I mean? The dolls we had, they only had straight hair," she said."Sometimes the parents will be like, 'Oh, my gosh.

And Pyrame said it's especially important to bring these dolls to Faneuil Hall, where tourists from around the world will pass through. "When the kids come, they usually get the dolls that look closest to them, and it's really nice. And sometimes they get the one that's not closest to them. And it's OK. It's OK for us to represent themselves, and it's OK to accept other people."
