Meet Corinne Tan! American Girl's first Chinese American doll! ❤️ RepresentationMatters
, Jamie Cygielman, general manager at American Girl, said, “We know representation matters, and we’re proud to welcome Corrine Tan to our lineup of important characters who reflect what it means to be an American girl today. Wrapped around Corrine’s outdoor adventures are important messages about kindness, tolerance, and love — showing kids that they’re never too young to contribute to the larger conversation and stand up for positive change.
Parents are understandably excited about the long-awaited inclusion of an Asian American Girl of the Year doll. Ria Pretekin, a Filipino-American mom from Illinois, told, “An iconic American Girl is more than blonde hair and blue eyes. An Asian American girl is also American, and in the wake of anti-Asian hate it would help to dispel the otherness. I’d love for Asian American children to feel the pride of their identities.
