Re: Disney's First Black Princess

Agree with most of what LMM says here. But although some are "princesses", I think little girls (I raised two) gravitate to the young, pretty, female face characters pretty equally and even though they may know some are princesses they consider them equal or have their favorite. DD#2 loved Pocahontas and certainly considered her a Native American princess. So in reality, Disney already has 3 princesses "of color" and it's great they're adding a fourth! Although not perfect (who is), Disney has come a long way since I was kid to truly embrace the cultures of the world.
