Blind Barbie

There's now a Blind Barbie, created with support from the American Foundation of the Blind. I think this is worth mentioning.

I'm happy to put something together but of course anyone else can jump in if they like. KaraLG84 (talk) 00:02, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Added a couple of sentences about the blind Barbie as well as the black Barbie with Down Syndrome. I wasn't sure how to expand the little I wrote without sounding like I was paraphrasing the article in my citation. KaraLG84 (talk) 15:00, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: The problem with this is that it is an online TV show from Channel 4 and would only be watchable in the UK.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 08:19, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
