Episode 29: Tiana - The Princess & The Frog (2009)
Princess Tiana is Disney’s first, and only, black princess, and her arrival was met with both excitement and disappointment. A gorgeous film with a blatant disregard for the Jim Crow era in which it’s set, The Princess and the Frog shows us the best and worst of the Disney formula. There’s the requisite magic, music and empowerment to follow one’s dreams, but these are deeply intertwined with whitewashing, cultural appropriation, and a lack of representation of POC behind-the-scenes. For this episode we’re proud to feature Kamala Avila-Salmon, Head of Inclusivity at Lionsgate, and the host/creator of the podcast From Woke to Work. She is a powerhouse of knowledge and ideas and we’re thrilled to have her. And for game time, hold on to your trumpet, we have Lewis the Alligator himself: MICHAEL WOOLEY! Dreams do come true in New Orleans!
