AVA DUVERNAY BARBIE TO GO ON SALE


Feeling Rebloggy
A doll featuring the likeness of “Selma” director DuVernay, the first African-American woman to direct a movie nominated for a Best Picture Oscar, is part of a “Sheroes” line announced by the toymaker in April. The plan was to create a single copy of each “Shero” Barbie, which the real-life woman being honored could auction off for a charity of their choice.

But DuVernay’s fans on Twitter — where she has 140,000 followers — asked Mattel to mass produce hers and the toymaker has agreed to make some available to the public, DuVernay tweeted Sunday.
