#ad Introducing @americangirlbrand Girl of the Year 2026, Raquel Reyes! Raquel is proudly multiethnic, just like my daughters, her father being Mexican American, and her mother being a descendent of Samantha Parkington, my forever favorite of the original American Girls! Alessandra was so proud to find out Raquel is also half Latina, just like her, and I love that her story gives us the opportunity to talk about history, family heritage, and that all cultures and backgrounds are to be celebrated
