I just had to write and say how proud I am for Anika to take this groundbreaking role. I truly am happy for her, and I know she will make this important role unforgetable to all who sees it. I know there have been lots of rumors and complaints about the character of Maddy..or Tiana as she is called now, but I just have to say that it’s about time that Disney has caught up to the times and finally create someone that Black American girls…as well as ALL girls, can look up to, and understand that Black people are descended from royalty as well. Please do your best Anika, and many blessings to you.
