Jessica Williams "Growing up as a black girl in a society that traditionally values white European features, I really was down on myself as a kid," Williams wrote in Allure. "You know in the old Barbie advertisements they would play with the white Barbie first? And the black girls played with the black Barbie. And in the final shot, it would be the white Barbie with the black Barbie behind her. I picked up on those subtle things, and unfortunately I internalized them."
