Sometimes your childhood toys catch up with you.
This post was written by Jennifer Smith.
Years ago, I saw a fundraising campaign online for the film, Black Barbie. After reading the materials about the project, I was moved by the story and realized how important it is for this subject matter to have a voice. Being a Jewish woman, I can relate to a certain point about dolls and representation, but other voices need to be able to tell their own experiences, so I donated some money for the film.
I had hoped that my contribution could help get this story out there.
Flash forward to 2022, a fellow music supervisor friend of mine knew the producer and recommended me for the project (he did not know I had donated to this project prior). I had no idea that it would come back around to me being part of the team. It was fate and I am honored to have had a part in bringing this project to life.
