I first teamed up with @Barbie in 2019 and today were introducing the Barbie Role Model Naomi Osaka doll. I hope every child is reminded that they can be and do anything: https://bit.ly/36sRTEH
Fun fact : (the doll is wearing my outfit from the 2020 Australian Open lol)

I have bought quite a bit of their dolls over the last few years for my niece.
They have really come a long way with representing dolls of different races and body shapes, disabled and more. Barbie is no longer a "pretty white blonde girl".
The last Barbie I bought my niece she said auntie it looks like you. LOL! The doll was a bit chunky, brown skin with big afro hair. Yup. Looks like me.
I love that my niece can see that.
Representation matters!
