Any day is a good day to tell little girls #YouCanBeAnything and encourage them to follow their dreams. All little girls have limitless potential, vivid imagination and a billion dreams in their eyes. All we need to do is inspire them, nurture them and tell them that they can be anything they want to be. That’s exactly what Barbie India did.
Barbie India asked mothers across the country as to what their daughters dreamt of becoming. They received an overwhelming response in the form of nearly 1000 entries and the responses were testimony to how dreamy-eyed and full of potential all little girls are. They wanted to be everything from chef to comedian, gymnast to actor and dancer to astronaut. Out of all the entries, Barbie India chose three of the most inspiring ones and decided to let the little girls spend a day with mentors learning more about the profession they had chosen. Before we tell you more, watch this heartwarming video:
You saw how little Benaifer, Prina and Shreya dream of becoming a stand-up comedian, pastry chef and gymnast, respectively. Taking these girls one step closer to their dreams are their role models Urooj Ashfaq, Anjali Pathak and Meghana Reddy who mentor them and make them believe that they can be anything. Along the way, these little girls learn to believe in themselves, overcome barriers and live their dreams. Can it get any more wonderful?
This video beautifully takes forward the thought of Barbie’s Imagine The Possibilities campaign, the emphasis of which was: ‘When a girl plays with Barbie, she imagines everything she can become’.
Barbie has always believed that little girls can be all that they want to be and this video only reinforces their commitment. Most importantly, it speaks to all parents, teachers and caregivers and urges them to tell little girls those four magical words: ‘You can be anything’.
