‘Barbie is all about empowerment, It’s about the magic of the stories we tell ourselves about our inner imaginary little girl playtime fantasies that turn into our real life big girl dreams and the knowledge that we can be whoever we want to be,’ began Lopez.

‘No matter if we’re a girl from the Bronx via Puerto Rico, from Los Angeles via Honduras, or from Mattel via the magical pink box.’

She then said: ‘There is no one who embodies this more on and off screen than my friend, America Ferrera!’

Them the Coach model added, ‘She has been such an inspiration as we continue to empower the Latin community. She shows up when we need her – motivating us to use our voices to advocate for a better world. I’m happy to be one who can say to her – Thank you for all that you do.’

Ferrera said to Jennifer: ‘There was no road before you, and every single thing that you’ve done and every step that you paved is still permission in every way for me and for so many of us.
