As of a few days ago, the Barbie brand under toy company Mattel has
undergone one of the biggest changes in its history. Introducing new Barbie
dolls that actually reflect the women today. With new body types, hair
textures, and a variety of skin tones, Barbie is making a statement that they
want to be relevant and a positive role model for young girls.
After coming under growing scrutiny in recent years for creating
unrealistic body standards and contributing to the specific criteria of who is
beautiful, Barbie needed to make a change. This video from TIME
magazine explains what the Barbie brand is doing to make positive change and
align their brand with the criticizes of women around the world.
Even with the new variety of dolls available to consumers, I believe Barbie
still has not shown a full range of what women look like. However, one
must consider the operations behind producing such a variety of products.
Retailers now need to make space for the new dolls and their corresponding clothes
for each body type.
Regardless, the Barbie brand decision to change is a great step towards promoting healthy body image and everyone is beautiful in their own unique way. Check out the video to learn more about Barbie company and the changes being made.
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are a dynamic duo, known for their hilarious humor and great real life friendship (#friendshipgoals). These two women are not only gifted with the ability to make you cry laughing, they use their platforms as celebrities to stand up for women and the sexism we see in the media. Check out this video for some good laughs and great advice to women.
Both Fey and Poehler have come out with their own memoirs filled with not only funny childhood stories but about the challenges of being a women in comedy. I strongly recommend listening to their audio books instead of reading the physical copies. Both women narrate their own books, making each chapter even funnier than if you simply read it.
