Toy company Mattel has introduced a new doll Barbie, resembling British presenter Clara Ampho, who delivered an emotionally charged speech on her BBC radio show following the death of George Floyd on the occasion of International Women’s Day.
The 36-year-old DJ, who was named “UK Barbie Role Model”, appealed from the “air” of her anti-racism show, in the wake of the death of George Floyd, an African-American, by a white police officer, a murder that provoked anti-racism protests against police violence in the US and around the world.
“There is a misconception that racism, and in this case racism against blacks, is only offensive and physical violence, when it is much more insidious than that,” she said in her speech, which went viral.
Amfo starred in the September issue of British Vogue, which honored militant activists on issues such as the Black Lives Matter movement, poverty and gender inequality.
“To say that I feel honored to be named Barbie Role Model would be a bit of an understatement,” Amfo said in a statement.
