E13 | It's Giving War Time | American Girl Dolls

Accidentally continuing on the topic of childhood toys, Maya and Angela talk about American Girl Dolls in this episode. And weeble wobbles, and beanie babies, and cabbage patch dolls...just lots of kids toys. Maya has to quickly work through her rich guilt to tackle the issue behind the doll, classism (and maybe white savior -ism?). Angela admits to the fear of having a blaccent (spoiler: they don't have a blaccent) just in time for Maya to avoid doing a blaccent while reading an excerpt from Meet Addy (the first Black American Girl doll).
