In this wide-ranging mother-daughter chat, we cover everything from childhood nostalgia to beauty standards and self-confidence.

Ro Nita shares what it was like growing up when there were no Black Barbies — and how representation in dolls like Addie from American Girl made a lasting impact. We dive into the complex history of Black dolls in America and how those toys shaped identity and imagination.

Then we switch gears to review the Barbie Movie — giving our honest thoughts on what it got right, what it missed, and why we both agree that Ken’s character was a basic, forgettable mess.

Finally, we talk skincare! Donnica shares her first experience with dermaplaning and a light chemical peel for acne and sensitive skin, while Ro Nita recalls her grandmother’s tried-and-true routine — Vaseline and Noxzema.

It’s a funny, heartfelt, and revealing conversation about pop culture, beauty, and family — the perfect mix of laughs, lessons, and love.
