Barbie, the 63-year-old American doll manufacturer, is releasing a new set of dolls in June as part of its ongoing efforts towards diversity and inclusion. From creating the brand’s first ever Barbie with hearing aids, to a Ken doll with the skin condition vitiligo, 2022’s Fashionista line up — which will be launched in Walmart, Target and Amazon — will help kids “see themselves reflected,” said Mattel’s Global Head of Barbie Dolls, Lisa McKnight, in a press statement.
