Mother and daughter create app game celebrating afro hair

Eight-year-old Alyssa is a big fan of dress up games and loves to play them in her spare time.

However, Alyssa and her mum Yvonne decided to create their very own after struggling to find any which included characters with afro hair.

The pair recognised the need for more representation and they spent two years creating their very own mobile app game called Frobelles, which features three black sisters, all with afro textured hair.

Alyssa played a big part in the process, voicing the trio and also choosing the wide range of hairstyles and clothes that players can pick from.

She hopes it'll mean other children with hair like hers can see themselves represented in the gaming world.
