About this deal

Louis Colored Orphans’ Home and the Flanner Settlement House in Indianapolis, which became the first settlement house for Black people in the city. Bundles sent to Mattel vintage photographs and sample tin containers used for Walker’s “Wonderful Hair Grower,” the hair and scalp product she created. Only one thing that I did not like that the box has some shelf wear and the tape on top did not stick to the box. Walker was born Sarah Breedlove in 1867 to former enslaved sharecroppers on a cotton-plantation in Delta, Louisiana.

She created opportunities for herself, and uplifted other Black women, making her truly an inspiring woman.

The doll is sporting a period-accurate purple blouse and textured turquoise skirt—a nod to “some of Walker’s favorite colors,” according to designer Carlyle Nuera. She is the latest historical figure to be recognized by Mattel, the toy company that manufactures Barbie. Duster and Bundles posted on Twitter mutual excitement about their legendary elders being together again as Barbie dolls. The Louisiana native built her business in the 1900s selling Madam Walker’s Wonderful Hair Grower, a scalp conditioning and healing formula.

Barbie has also used the Inspiring Women line to highlight Jane Goodall, Maya Angelou, and Rosa Parks. Elizabeth Warren and 18 Democrats demand information on 'highly unusual' US arms transfers to Israel that occurred WITHOUT congressional sign-off in critical letter to Sec. Julia Roberts' brother Eric Roberts has starred in EIGHT famous music videos from Mariah Carey to The Killers - but have you seen them all? The doll, designed by Carlyle Nuera, even features a Madam Walker’s Wonderful Hair Grower accessory.

She spent her early years growing up on the cotton plantation where her parents and older siblings had been enslaved before becoming sharecroppers, the New York Post reported. Walker’s hair care and cosmetics products were an important part of her legacy, so representing those products was crucial as well, Bundles said. Barbie dolls have been a beloved toy for generations, capturing the hearts and imaginations of children all over the world.

And from there I promoted myself into the business of manufacturing hair goods and preparations … I have built my own factory on my own ground. Wells, Billie Jean King, Jane Goodall and many other innovative women who also have had Barbies made in their likenesses.J. Walker has been inducted into Mattel’s Barbie Inspiring Women Series to celebrate the US’ National Black Business Month, which took place in August. Larsa Pippen, 49, is busty in low-cut top as she holds hands with boyfriend Marcus Jordan, 33, in Miami. Barbie’s Carlyle Nuera, who designed Walker’s doll, says he was familiar with the hair care pioneer’s work as an entrepreneur, activist and philanthropist.
