Massive THANK YOU to everyone that came out last night to celebrate the book launch of DOLL! I’ll never forget who was there that night cheering me on. 🥰🥰🥰 Another big thank you to my talented MC @CourtStroudNYC and to @wordbookstores, a dream venue for an author!

This wonderful little book, DOLL @maritehart @objectsobjects, has seen the world—accompanying me to New York, Bath, Oxford, and London, then a layover in Detroit. Finished it on my final leg back to St. Louis!

"The beauty of #Barbie’s world is that it is something that’s accessible to a lot of people — even if you don’t conform to Barbie’s perfection, you can still play in that world and enjoy it." @maritehart shondaland.com/inspire/a4453… via @byshondaland

I took 1 star reviews of #Barbie from furious men on letterboxd and put them on the posters because it makes the film seem ever cooler.
From model to astronaut to Canadian mountie—I love that my conversation with @Brockwilson89 for @CBCNews captured this doll in all her complexity.

"I think Barbie represents the pinnacle of womanhood and an achievement of that — and so she’s always going to be a mixed bag." Read @maritehart, author of Doll, discussing Barbie at @voxdotcom.

Had an absolute ball talking to @alex_abads at @voxdotcom about all things Barbie and why everyone is so eager to escape into her hot-pink dream world. (More weird doll facts ahead!) vox.com/culture/2023/7/12/23…
Loved this piece, which shows the heart and the history that can go into a neighborhood guide.
I'm proud to share my piece about the Black history of Bronzeville for Viator, and why you should visit the area that was once the equivalence of the Harlem Renaissance...just in Chicago. @maritehart, @MesaEmilio1

Had a blast talking to @llkirchner_ for this one!
No platform. Writing what she wants. And Barbie. How writing "hidden histories" led @maritehart to essays, a book deal & more. A conversation with @llkirchner_ brevity.wordpress.com/2023/0…
