The National Museum of Toys and Miniatures is thrilled to partner with Lagueria Davis, Writer and Director of BLACK BARBIE: A DOCUMENTARY, for a film screening and talkback on December 5th, beginning at 6PM. This exciting conversation will be moderated by Natasha Ria El-Scari, Director of the UMKC Women’s Center.
Lagueria Davis wrote and directed BLACK BARBIE: A DOCUMENTARY, 'a gorgeous film with heart,' which was acquired by Shondaland after its acclaimed premiere at SXSW and a very successful festival run. It premiered on Netflix on Juneteenth. While making this documentary, she shadowed on the full third season of THE L WORD: GENERATION Q for Showtime, where she took on directing establishing shots and marketing materials. Prior to shadowing for all of the final season, she was the writer's PA on season 2 with Showrunner Marja-Lewis Ryan. She was also selected to participate in the Mentorship Matters Program where her mentor was Niceole Levy. Commercially, she had the pleasure of directing promotional materials for Bel-Air and Peacock Olympics featuring Bel-Air Cast. Episodically, Lagueria recently shadowed Ms. Debbie Allen on the 21st season of Grey’s Anatomy. She hails from Fort Worth, TX, and brings her Southern, Black, and Queer perspective to a range of premium storytelling as a writer and director. Lagueria currently resides in Los Angeles and is developing her scripted feature directorial debut.
Discover the untold story of the first Black Barbie and the pivotal role trailblazing Black women at Mattel had in creating a doll who looked like them.
