First announced in 2020, the Disney+ show was envisioned as a musical featuring Anika Noni Rose reprising her role as Tiana, Disney's first
This decision (especially coming out now) is sinister for several reasons. I was looking forward to the show and I had hope that Disney would finally treat Princess Tiana with the attention and adoration her story deserves. I’m sorry to team that worked on this show, Anika Noni Rose, and all the Black girls like me that desire media that is catered to us.
