“#NotMyAriel”? Hans Christian Andersen wrote The Little Mermaid, and he was Danish. It’s a Danish fairy tale. Guess what? Black & brown people are Danish! ☺️ Kids used to ask me for Black and brown mermaid books at the library all the time! I’m so excited for them to see this film, for all of us to see it 🤩 Halle Bailey has a stunningly beautiful voice, she’s going to be brilliant as Ariel. She will honor the story phenomenally. So proud of you, @hallebailey! OUR ARIEL, MY ARIEL! I’ll see this movie underwater if I have to 🧜🏽‍♀️ #representationmatters #littlemermaid #mermaid #MyAriel
