America Ferrera Instagram – “To be perfectly honest, I was never a Barbie girl. I didn’t play with Barbies growing up for a number of reasons. We couldn’t afford them and they just didn’t resonate with me. I didn’t see myself reflected in that world in a way that captured my imagination. What’s exciting about @barbiethemovie is that we got to expand and shift the narrative to include more of us. Society’s unspoken standard of beauty is outdated and exclusionary. Feeling beautiful is an inside job, and I’m so grateful to have played a role where I got to challenge and redefine what we consider to be beautiful.” Thank you @bazaaruk for the fun cover shoot and thoughtful profile.
