"As
a
child,
like
all
young
girls
I
too
have
grown
up
with
Barbie.
She
has
been
a
friend
and
I
have
shared
many
experiences
with
her.
Barbie
is
the
ultimate
fashion
icon
and
is
the
most
popular
doll
in
the
world!
She
has
captured
my
imagination
for
many
years
and
now
when
I
get
an
opportunity
to
be
a
part
of
Barbie's
heritage
-
I
am
enchanted,
deeply
honoured
and
humbled
as
I
today
join
the
ranks
of
iconic
women
who
represent
Barbie's
aspirational
values.
I
am
extremely
grateful
to
Mattel
for
presenting
me
my
very
own
Barbie
doll.
I
hope
that
my
young
fans
are
equally
thrilled
with
this
doll."
