“White kids need to see Black Ariel as much as Black kids do. The back lash is unreal and unhealthy. Yet, it explains exactly why children need diverse books and imaginative play that represents a diverse world. Fighting against inclusion involves an unhealthy mindset that has been nurtured by lack of representation.” @evolvedteacher As a teacher and artist, I have seen firsthand the effects that lack of diversity can have on a developing child. I’m proud to be an artist and teacher who celebrates, honors, and represents diversity in their art and teaching. We all need Black Ariel. All of us 🖤 Follow the amazing @evolvedteacher for #gentleteaching and #gentleparenting
