There are dreams… and then there are moments that feel as though they were written in the stars long before you ever arrived. ✨👑🩵🩵
To become a @disney Disney Princess was already beyond anything my younger self could have imagined. But to now stand among the beautiful legacy of Disney Princesses, to know that I am forever a part of this magical family, is something I will never take for granted.
And there is an even deeper meaning for me.
To have been the first Black Cinderella, and to know that the door we walked through helped make the kingdom wider for the beautiful Black princesses who would come after me, is one of the greatest honors of my life.
What Whitney Houston @whitneyhouston and Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella gave us was bigger than a movie. We showed a generation of little Black girls that the glass slipper could fit them, too. That they could be soft and powerful. Regal and magical. Seen, celebrated, chosen, and centered in the fairytale.
And then came more history. @anikaaroundtheworld Anika Noni Rose gave us the beautiful Princess Tiana. Halle Bailey @hallebailey brought a new generation under the sea as Ariel.
And today, I get to look around at this ever-expanding kingdom and feel the magnitude of what representation can become when one door opens… and we keep holding it open for one another. 👑🩵🩵🩵
From Cinderella at 18 to Queen Cinderella today, this journey continues to feel like divine poetry.
I once stepped into a glass slipper.
I could never have imagined the footprints it would leave behind.
Thank you, Disney, for allowing me to live inside the magic, and for letting that magic keep growing. ✨🏰👑🩵🩵🩵
Forever grateful. Forever Cinderella. 🩵🩵🩵
As White Supremacists, We Can’t Tolerate Black People’s Joy
Content creator @abercadabermcdoo exposes the true nature of white supremacy; and there is nothing "supreme" about it.
It's a low self-esteem system that can only thrive by keeping Black people down. It can't stand Black beauty, Black confidence, or Black friendship and unity.
The cruelty aimed at Black success is really a desperate reaction. It comes from a system built on control, now watching that control fail, because Black people are succeeding anyway.
Black people are being found hanging from trees & law enforcement is calling it suicide.We won’t forgot u.
