Disney’s The Little Mermaid trailer dropped this weekend and parents took to TikTok to share videos of their daughters’ reactions.
This is why representation matters.

“She’s brown!”
@jendayis682 Do you understand how it feels for our babies to see themselves in the fairy tales that the world said wasn’t made for them. Say what you want and complain all you want I hear nothing over the joy and excitement this little girl has over seeing a person that represent her. #littlemermaid #MarleyGraceWORLD #littlemermaid2023 #blackgirlrepresentation #BlackGirlSeeThemselves ♬ original sound – JendayiS
