Frobelles is the UK's first afro hair championing dress-up game, founded by mother-daughter duo Alyssa Awuah and Yvonne Ottley-Awuah.
It was created after Alyssa, at just six years old, asked her mum why none of her game characters had natural afro hair like hers.
With some graphic design experience, Ottley-Awuah mentioned to Awuah that they should just create their own game.
Together, they brainstormed three main characters: Coco, Kelli, and Krista, all with beautiful Afro hair that could be styled in various ways, including puffs, Fulani braids, and Bantu knots.
Frobelles has surpassed 100,000 downloads, launched in the US and has a worthy place on the Entrepreneur UK100 list!

Warriors Star Jimmy Butler Makes Offseason Move in L.A.
Warriors Star Jimmy Butler Makes Offseason Move in L.A. originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Apart from being one of the top players in the NBA today, Golden State Warriors star Jimmy Butler is also a very successful entrepreneur. He is the man behind the brand Bigface, which all started when Butler started selling coffee for $20 a cup during the NBA bubble in 2020. Advertisement Since then, the brand has become a major enterprise. It currently has a branch located at the heart of the Miami Design District, with plans for expansion soon. In the meantime, Bigface will be opening a temporary cafe in French soccer club Paris Saint-Germain's pop-up in Melrose, Los Angeles. Butler took to Instagram on Tuesday to share some photos of his offseason business move in L.A. as he looks to take the next steps in Bigface's expansion. According to the club's announcement, the PSG House will be open from June 14 to 23. The objective of the pop-up is to "offer fans and visitors an inspired blend of sport, fashion, art, music and wellness, curated in the spirit of Parisian elegance and West Coast creativity." Advertisement Butler's Bigface coffee is one of PSG's partners for the 10-day event, and will offer a coffee-tasting corner and an all day cafe. Golden State Warriors forward Jimmy Butler © Troy Taormina-Imagn Images Butler is himself a big soccer fan, and he is a known supporter of PSG, who recently bagged the Champions League title for the first time in the club's decorated history. It seems that Butler is more than happy to see his passion for coffee and his support for PSG collide in one exciting venture.

Photo by Marcus Nilsson/Bravo June 13 (UPI) -- Tristen Epps-Long has been crowned the winner of Bravo's Top Chef Season 22, beating out fellow finalists Bailey Sullivan and Shuai Wang for the honor Thursday night. "I wanted to come on Top Chef to showcase Afro-Caribbean food and prove that it deserves a place in fine dining," said the owner of Epps & Flows Culinary in Houston. "I didn't do this for myself, nor did I get here on my own. I had a lot of support and people who believed in me that gave me the strength to not quit and keep pushing to the end of this incredible Top Chef journey," he added. "Now, I just hope to be that same support, step or channel for someone else because that's what others were for me." Epps-Long was awarded a $250,000 cash prize, as well as a $125,000 flight credit for Delta Air Lines, a feature story in Food & Wine magazine and an appearance at the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen. He is also set to be a presenter at the James Beard Restaurant and Chef Awards in Chicago on Monday.
