She is the author of several books; The Definitive Guide to Collecting Black Dolls, Hobby House Press, Inc, Black Dolls: A Comprehensive Guide to Celebrating, Collecting, and Experiencing the Passion, a full color book which references and values over 1000 black dolls. Her most recent work, The Doll Blogs: When Dolls Speak I Listen.

Debbie maintains her personal Black Doll Collecting blog and the Ebony-Essence of Dolls in Black blog where she periodically profiles past and present doll companies, doll artists, and doll collectors and is co-founder and editor of The Black Doll-E-Zine, 'the first and only e-zine devoted to collecting black dolls,' her doll research, writing, and networking with doll collectors and artists continued.  

It was such a delight because I have known Debbie for many years, I have had the pleasure of being on doll panels with her as well as the honor and pleasure of having one of our Big Beautiful Dolls, Dasia be featured in her collection that was highlighted and featured in the "Eye of the Collector" Exhibition the Perot Museum in Dallas, TX, March 2016.
