Over the next week, I will no doubt be pulled into watching the new Little Mermaid remake starring Halle Bailey. I have too many kids, and suffer from too much nostalgia not to watch… and a Black Ariel? Who could resist?! I’m genuinely excited to watch Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse, with Miles being far and away the greatest (and Blackest) Spiderman already. It feels like there is a stampede of remade children’s movies with Black leads, turn on Disney+ and you can even stream a Black Tinkerbell! First, we took over the White House and now we are ruling the ocean floor, the multiverse, and Neverland. Martin can rest knowing that we have overcome!!!
