Madam C.J. Walker Is Barbie's New Inspiring Women Series Doll
In honor of Black Business Month.
Barbie is furthering its commitment to support and inspire all young children as the historic brand is recognizing America’s first self-made millionaire Madam C.J. Walker.
Famous for inventing a widely successful line of haircare products and makeup created specifically for Black Women, Madam C.J. Walker is truly an icon and a powerful role model for all. Single-handedly revolutionizing the haircare industry as well as reimagining what it means to be an entrepreneur, the philanthropist and social activist more than deserves to be a part of Barbie’s Inspiring Women series.
To create the perfect doll, Barbie leaned on A’Lelia Bundles, Madam C.J. Walker’s great-great granddaughter for insight, sharing the business woman’s favorite colors as well as cultural knowledge of the era’s beauty standards and styles.
Take a look at Barbie’s Madam C.J. Walker Inspiring Women doll in the gallery above. The collectible item retails for $35 USD and is available on Mattel’s website as well as Walmart, Target and Amazon.
