Girl Of The Year - Blog Posts

Soooooooo

I’m making my official recommendation for the girl of the year 2025 (I know 2024 just started but I’m down a rabbit hole right now)

So a lot of us are upset about the fact that there’s a continual of variety in all of the lines that American Girls produces (other than World by us, which is currently one sale and I think that says something)

I know we mostly focus on race but I personally would also like to see so more disability representation (they don’t even have a walking stick or cane available)

So, my suggestion is an Albino girl of African descent with a beautiful Afro who is blind. She could have an interest in anything (I like the idea that she’s a writer) but maybe give her a story about how she stands against the ableism, racism and hairism of the world. There are still little girls who get sent home from school because of their natural hair.

I personally think this would be a beautiful chance to share educate kids of all walks of life about the challenges all types of people face.

Anyway. I was thinking about it.

(Unrelated but I’m about to snatch up an Evette and I’m so excited cause I love her design so much and am so excited to read her story)
