Madam C.J. Walker is the latest Barbie in the Inspiring Women Series. She joins the company of Rosa Parks, Amelia Earhart and other women that Barbie has recognized with a custom doll.
Madam C.J. Walker, the first female self-made millionaire, is being honored with her own Barbie doll.
"Their design team graciously welcomed me throughout all steps of the process – from hair development to packaging – to capture and celebrate the legacy of this trailblazing Black businesswoman. I can’t wait for a new generation to be inspired by her story and to tell their own stories through a role model who came before them," A’Lelia Bundles, Great-Great Granddaughter and Official Biographer of Madam C.J. Walker, said in a news release.
The Madam C.J. Walker Barbie is holding a miniature replica of her original Wonderful Hair Grower product. The doll was released Wednesday and was already sold out at Target and Mattel on Thursday. It is still available online through Walmart and Amazon.
