Representation in the toy aisle in Black Barbie: A Documentary. blackbarbiefilm
Growing up, Lagueria Davis wasn’t one to idolize dolls. But after college she moved in with her aunt, Beulah Mae Mitchell, and she was fascinated by her unusually large collection.
“[My niece] found it very interesting that I had so many Black dolls and Barbies,” Mitchell said. “She wasn’t aware that many Black Barbies [were made], but it drew her attention and I was very excited to show her that they had these Black Barbies. I would always buy Black Barbie because it was me. And Black people were interested in getting a doll like them. It’s such a glamorous doll.”
“Black Barbie herself, I found a bond and a relatability to her. She’ll forever have a special place in my heart.” Davis added, to her aunt: “Man, you turned me into a doll lover.”
