Disney+

In honor of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella, coming to Disney+ they wanted to partner with talented artists and designers to create custom art pieces. “A Dream Come True” by @shonteyoungwilliams. This concept was inspired by my own experiences with the film, as well as the impact I know it will have on my niece. In the 90’s, seeing a black woman as a princess was rare. As a little Black girl, I saw Brandy’s representation in the film as a kind of gift to me. I watched this movie multiple times a day on my bedroom floor, imagining myself as her and singing every song. Currently, my niece is five years old and she loves playing princess! (I used her as my model) I know once she sees the movie it will have a huge impact on her as it has on me.
