When I was in elementary school, my friends and I would pretend to be Disney princesses during recess. Most of them were white and each somewhat resembled a Disney princess. I always wanted to be Belle, or Aurora, or Ariel but I was instead given the options of Jasmine, Pocahontas, or Mulan because I looked more like them, as I am mixed race. Although this may seem like it's not a big deal, it truly hurt me as a young girl. It was hard being different. I firmly believe that a Disney princess of mixed heritage should be created to give young girls a character to look up to and relate to

Seeing this momentum continue is exhausting but it keeps me moving forward. I know exactly why we are fighting for this and your recognition of that struggle keeps me from walking away today.

I feel the same exact way. i’m half black half white and i never felt like i fit into either catergories . people would automatically put me with tiana because she is black but i’m also white. it just sucks there isn’t a mixed disney princess
I am of mixed decent, creole to be more specific. The princess and the frog came close to my idea of a mixed doll but would love to see a tan colored doll with curly long hair not one yet like this. Little girls love dolls and Disney can afford to make a doll that every little girl can say “ she looks like me”.
I would love to see this happen. This needs to happen @Disney... Please
I just think it is definitely time for there to be a mixed disney princess not to discriminate but I mean black and white !
its how feel :D
I would like my children to see characters that are representative of their mixed race to identify with.
I love being mixed race and there needs to be a princess to represent me. I love this petition.

I am the black mother or a mixed race daughter and I would absolutely LOVE for her to have a Disney princess that she can identify with on this level as she grows older!
