Coffee with Yvonne

Bonus Episode: Netflix Black Barbie

Yvonne is still on hiatus-FULLY outside (catch her latest trip to Quebec by visiting her socials on Instagram and TikTok) and took time to catch up on her Netflix queue to watch the Black Barbie documentary produced by Shondaland (Scandal and Bridgerton fans stand up!). The documentary tells the history of how three Black women changed Mattel through their work, the cultural impact of Barbie and our perception, marketing's role in Black Barbie...and how PinkDollhouse Marketing may not have existed without the work of these Black women. 
So grab your coffee...and let's chat
