The Barbie Inspiring Women series pays tribute to incredible heroines of their time; courageous women who took risks, changed rules, and paved the way for generations of girls to dream bigger than ever before. This collectible Barbie doll honors Opal Lee, a retired teacher, counselor, and social impact leader who was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2024 for her work in making Juneteenth a federal holiday. In dedicating her life to community advocacy and historical preservation, she persistently demonstrates what's possible when one uses their voice to inspire change.
