Barbie has been making some positive changes and additions into its brand in recent years, and it's been so refreshing. Mattel has released "Drag Queen" Barbies and dolls of all shapes and sizes to the market. The Vatican also urged in their journal that Mattel distribute their "Bald Barbie" to the general public since it was originally only available to children going through chemotherapy in hospitals.
It's been great to see the popular doll sending a positive message to little girls about how diverse and powerful women really are. It also teaches all other kids to accept those who are different from them and that beauty comes in all forms.
More from MamásLatinas: Latina Olympian Laurie Hernandez gets a Barbie made after her and we're so proud
The "Bald and Beautiful Barbie" was made thanks to cancer patient Jane Bingham of Mantua N.J, who created a Facebook page advocating the creation of a bald Barbie that went viral. Her message was heard loud and clear, as Mattel now makes the doll, but made it available exclusively to hospitals.
The brand has been making a huge push to create dolls that are more impactful and they've added a line of dolls that represent women who are great role models who've knocked down barriers for women all over the world. Olympian Laurie Hernandez has her very own doll now and that type of representation, especially for Latina girls who don't often see themselves in a positive light in pop culture, is super important.
