Douglas told HuffPo that she was honored to have a doll in her likeness: “It’s so important in the African American community to have that doll that looks like you. For me that’s really big because it sends a positive message saying, you know what, you can go out there and achieve your goals no matter what your hair looks like, no matter what color your skin is.”

The doll comes dressed in a Team U.S.A leotard with a removable pink and black Nike track suit. You can buy it on Barbie's website, or in select stores, now.
