Doll modelled after Canada's first Black, female interventional cardiologist

Diva Dr. Alex, created by Montreal company, looks just like her -- completely with scrubs, a stethoscope and thick-framed glasses.

"They say if you can see it, you can be it," said Bastiany, who currently works at a hospital in Thunder Bay, Ont."As a young girl [...] I didn't have any Black doll [that was a] doctor or an engineer or anything fabulous or out of this world," Bastiany told CTV News."In the last few years, Black women and men learned how to embrace our natural curls, our natural pattern, because it was previously considered as non-professional.

"The last generation like me, I never had that doll, so now we want that next generation to have a doll where they can see themselves, where they can find their textures of hair," said Clara Lewis.Without it, she says children can end up with low self-esteem or limiting beliefs.Lewis now has 17 different dolls in her line, including the doll inspired by one notable doctor.
