Gabby Douglas Barbie Reported to Become a Reality

At the end of the article, On Rebranding Barbie and Why Diversity Matters, by Tia S. Brown for ESPN W, Vice President of Global Marketing for Mattel Sejal Shah Miller, shares that a Gabby Douglas Barbie will be on the market in spring 2017!

I am not sure if the  Gabby Douglas Barbie was already in the making or if the petition for it led to the doll becoming a reality.  Either way, thanks, Mattel!

Hopefully Mattel will listen to those who have signed the current petition for an AA Silkstone® Ken and produce that doll as well.

Yes, doll diversity matters.

Petition to Mattel for an AA Silkstone Ken

At the suggestion of a fellow Barbie enthusiast, I created a petition to Mattel to produce an African American  Silkstone® Ken in a sufficient quantity to meet the needs of the global market.  You may read the petition and sign it here.  Thank you in advance for your signatures.
