Larsa Pippen, 49, is busty in low-cut top as she holds hands with boyfriend Marcus Jordan, 33, in Miami.

It’s time to join Barbie, Ken and friends for a tour of the Dreamhouse, followed by a trip to The Barbie Boutique and Chelsea’s Lemonadory – found on the mall in California, of course.Some of Madam’s stationery was turquoise with purple and lavender lettering,” said Bundles about how she got ideas about the dress worn by Barbie Madam, the finished 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. Aside from being a hair care magnate, Walker was also known for her contributions to the NAACP anti-lynching movement, supporting orphanages and Black colleges, and advocating for civil rights organizations and women's rights.

Still, it’s the story of the businesswoman, entrepreneur, and philanthropist that Walker was that inspired Barbie to create a doll in her honor. J. Walker is an embodiment of our Barbie Inspiring Women series," Lisa McKnight, execute vice president and global head of Barbie for Mattel said in a statement. We worked directly with A’Lelia Bundles, the great-great granddaughter and official biographer of Madam C. Walker's great-great-granddaughter said she hopes the doll will show kids they too can be entrepreneurs. That's why [her] outfit is lavender, purple, and turquoise," Bundles shares of the final look, in which the Madam Walker doll is wearing a puffed-sleeve, high-neck, purple floral top, and a long blue skirt, accessorized with light blue heeled boots and drop-pearl earrings.To know little girls and big girls will have access to Madam Walker and just that physical symbolism of her story means it’s going to be exploding exponentially in a way it never has before.

Walker’s great-great granddaughter, A’Lelia Bundles, is hopeful that the doll (with its adorable mini hair products) will introduce the story of the historical figure to an expanded audience. The end result is a doll Bundles believes represents Walker "when she was in the process of becoming the person she went on to become.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. J. Walker and maybe see themselves as an entrepreneur — maybe see themselves as a person who is involved in social justice. I wanted to capture Walker in a time in her life where she was selling her Wonderful Hair Grower, at public meetings and private home demonstrations – the true spirit of self-made,” says designer Carlyle Nuera. She's a woman who founded a haircare products company," Bundles told CBS New York in an interview earlier this year. If you have a non-BNPL balance, you will still need to make at least your minimum payment as shown on your statement.

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. I watched that process for somebody who went through the same thing I was going through,” Bundles said. Walker traveled through the South and Southeast selling her hair products door-to-door, and temporarily moved her base to Pittsburgh to train "hair culturists" at Lelia College, which she founded. Regarding the clothing for Barbie Madam, Bundles wanted to bring in color, even though the photos from that era were in black and white. Her story inspired a Netflix original movie, Self Made, that showed her transformation from a farm laborer and laundress into one of the twentieth century’s most successful women entrepreneurs.Mattel was helped by Walker’s great-great-granddaughter, journalist and author A’Lelia Bundles – also the founder of the MADAM by Madam C. I love knowing that little girls and boys can role-play and imagine themselves as entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and social justice advocates like Madam Walker,” she told Fortune.
