Daily News | “You can be anything”: South Jersey counselor collects dozens of career Barbies to inspire job seekers
tells women, “You can be anything.” But Debbie Friedner and her Barbies help people believe it.
The Cherry Hill resident has been a long-time Barbie fan but the doll’s 60th anniversary in 2019 rekindled Friedner’s passion for Barbie, who was no longer just the fashionista doll of her childhood. Friedner now has 56 career Barbies in their original boxes, and she’s always on the lookout for a new addition. “The fun is in the find.”
“When they come to us, they’ve gone through something,” Friedner said. “They’ve gone through a job loss. They’ve been laid off from their job. Or maybe they had a medical problem, and they can’t do that job anymore. So they’re thinking about the next move, but at the same time, they’re dealing with the emotional impact of that.”“Anybody that sees my collection can’t help but be inspired,” Friedner said.“My sister and I mutilated her,” Friedner said, sounding a bit gleeful.
