Barbie Role Models is part of the Barbie Dream Gap Project, an ongoing global initiative that encourages girls and aims to give them the resources and support they need to continue to believe that they can be anything. "We know that children are inspired by what they see around them, which is why it's so important for young girls to see themselves reflected in role models who've daringly pushed past roadblocks and overcome the dream gap to become the brave women they are today," Lisa McKnight, SVP and Global Head of Barbie and Dolls said in a statement.
