Representation matters. This message emerges stronger than ever from the reactions of so many black girls and young women towards the first trailer for the new Disney live action dedicated to The Little Mermaid. The trailer shows the actress who plays Ariel, Halle Bailey, singing the song "Part of Your World". Unfortunately, the casting of a black actress has also sparked some controversy, a controversy that only underlines how important it is to expand representation so that all children can see themselves and feel important again. Long live the most complete and positive representation of the world's diversity! . . . . #Freeda #Diversity #TheLittleMermaid #HalleBailey
