What is an inclusive Barbie?

Barbie has quite the impressive CV. She has had over 150 careers including fashion editor, surgeon and astronaut - enough to inspire any young fan. But what she has career-wise, she lacks when it comes to inclusivity. Barbie is usually blond, perfect and impossibly proportioned - there is a reason Margo Robbie is playing her in the latest Barbie film. But this is finally going to change: Barbie is becoming more inclusive. Mattel is launching a new ‘Fashonista line’ which will include barbies with various disabilities, making it the most inclusive Barbie line to date. What does an inclusive Barbie look like?
