#ECRToyStory18: "My dolls and teddy bears were my first audience," says Keri Miller
Updated | By Keri Miller
The magic of toys creates dreams, and for Keri Miller, living out her dream every day means reliving practicing with her dolls from a young age.
So as a little girl, believe it or not, I wasn't very ladylike, but because I was a little girl, I do remember getting dolls.
I used to (so my parents say) set them up in front of me in my bedroom and instead of playing 'mom', I used to do radio shows for my dolls and teddy bears.
They became my very first audience whom I practiced being a live DJ with, and the Toy Story campaign brings back memories of doing my radio shows to my bears. I think of them every single time I think of my real life bears, who are my Darren and my Sky.
Sometimes gifting the gift of a toy helps a child practice out their dream.
You can help ensure that they too have a toy story to tell by donating a toy to this year's East Coast Radio Toy Story in partnership with Toys R Us & Babies R Us.
All you need to do to get involved is buy and donate a new toy at any Toys R Us & Babies R Us across KZN by dropping it in the collection box in store, or drop off new toy donations at East Coast Radio House. Alternatively, you can make a cash donation, or donate via Zapper. For more information, click here.
