Recently I received an email from Lifetime Moms about mom Karen from NY,NY who was petitioning Mattel on Change.org for party supplies to feature girls of color. I anxiously clicked through hoping to see a successful response from Mattel.
My daughter who turned 6 in September had the same request that Karen's daughter did for party supplies. "I want brown princesses, because I'm not peach.."
My daughters party was a successful princess party that we all truly enjoyed.
Luckily we were able to get an individual cake that featured Tiana but luck ran out when we we were unable to find any party supplies (plates, napkins etc) that were strictly any princess/barbie of color!
My daughter loves all the Barbies and Princess' that are available today but as a mother that searched every store we could for almost two months in advance, I would have loved to be able to deliver that for her!
