00:00I'm here today as an ambassador for the first ever blind Barbie fashion Easter doll.

00:13I never thought I would live this day where I would be holding a blind Barbie doll.

00:17The most popular doll in the world now has a visual impairment.

00:22What?

00:23That means that we're getting to a place in the world where we're accepted and we're represented.

00:29Oh my gosh, I absolutely love your K and Barbie.

00:34Oh, this makes me so emotional.

00:37I just, I so wish that I would have had this when I was a little girl.

00:41I'm super excited because I didn't see myself represented as a young, blind girl growing

00:47up in the world.

00:49All I wanted was a role model that looked like me and finally we have one.
