Barbie’s new “Music-Producer” doll is highlighting the gender gap in the industry. Mattel’s Barbie has been making strides in the toy industry for creating more diverse dolls, and now Music-Producer Barbie is attempting to “introduce girls to an underrepresented career where women make up less than 3% of music producers and shine a light on the importance of women’s stake in the industry.” Songwriter-producer Ester Dean worked with Barbie on the new doll and the Barbie Dream Gap Project aimed at empowering young girls to become the next generation of music producers. Barbie is also funding “Girls Make Beats” scholarships to financially support girls who are interested in pursuing music careers. (Variety)
