Lagueria Davis’ Black Barbie: A Documentary is an informative, archival project that highlights the important history and genealogy of Mattel’s first Black Barbie. This film celebrates the beauty, diversity, and power of Black womanhood responsible for the boundary-pushing representation in the toy industry. Black Barbie, produced by Shondaland, champions Black women’s storytelling via intimate conversations featuring Mattel’s game-changers: Davis’ own aunt Beulah Mae Mitchell, Kitty Black Perkins, and Stacey McBride-Irby.

Netflix and Shondaland have secured the worldwide rights to "Black Barbie: A Documentary," an acclaimed film directed by Lagueria Davis. The documentary, which garnered critical acclaim during its work-in-progress screening at this year's SXSW Film Festival, is executive produced by Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers as part of their ongoing collaboration with Netflix. This partnership, initiated in 2017 with the signing of the Bridgerton duo, was extended in 2021.
