#AmericanGirl just announced its 2026 #GirlOfTheYear, and her name is #RaquelReyes. Raquel, who is proud of her Mexican-American heritage, loves to visit her parents’ paletas shop and DJ. She’s also a fifth-generation descendant of our fave original American Girl, #SamanthaParkington (feeling: old!). Raquel teaches young girls that family comes in many forms and to take action to help those in need. Now THAT’S how you celebrate #HispanicHeritageMonth 👏 📸americangirlbrand
