11-Year Old Girl Asks Disney To Do What
Disney’s princesses have mostly been portrayed as white and of European descent.
Over time ethnic princesses like Jasmine, Pocahontas, Mulan, Tiana, and Moana have emerged.
An 11 year old girl says that is not enough. She wrote a letter to Disney asking for more princesses to wear glasses.
In her letter she said characters with glasses are usually portrayed as geeky or nerdy instead of beautiful.
Disney has not responded to her letter.
Princess Rose 👑
@lowri_moore has had her own book published. The story showcases princesses in glasses so they can feel represented.
You can listen back to her speaking to @sarahjulianotts from 8am this morning at https://t.co/2i1daiMVoP pic.twitter.com/89FsDcmWAz
