WILDFLOWER LIBERTY LEAGUE WAS FOUNDED AS A NONPROFIT TO PROMOTE DIVERSITY AND RAISE AWARENESS FOR EQUALITY WHILE DONATING ALL PROFITS TO CHILDREN'S CHARITIES. MARIA CONFER TELLS US MORE ABOUT HER GOALS.

fter becoming a mom through transracial adoption, Maria Confer had an idea. Seeing a lack of diverse toys in stores and online
Confer started Wildflower Liberty League, a nonprofit focused on diverse, huggable, lovable and classic dolls. She started small in her home as a self-taught sewer and made her first doll as a Christmas present for her son. Now, her online inventory of dolls sells out in hours. Confer is also passionate about the foster care system and providing better support to all involved. She donates 100% of her profits to foster care charity Together We Rise. By acting on her passions and filling a need, Confer brings diversity to children’s toys and allows them to see their differences as unique, beautiful and accepted.
