Barbie just got a whole lot more badass. Mattel announced Friday that the company is honoring six female "Sheroes" with one-of-a-kind dolls created in their likenesses. One of the honorees is Selma director Ava DuVernay, whose accomplishments include being the first black female director to receive a Best Picture Academy Award nomination and founding the African American Film Festival Releasing Movement, a program providing opportunities and resources to underrepresented filmmakers. DuVernay thanked Barbie on Twitter for the tribute. I always played w/ my sisters Jina + Tera.
