Spotlighting Black Role Models

Through our global platform, we remain dedicated to honoring real-life female role models and amplifying their stories to inspire girls.

We’re proud to celebrate the many Black trailblazers as Barbie Role Models. Women previously honored include Ibtihaj Muhammad, Rosa Parks, Ella Fitzgerald, Gabby Douglas, Katherine Johnson, and Ida B. Wells.

Going forward, we pledge that more than 50% of our future Role Models honored will be Black, indigenous, or women of color.
