Hey GK-Nitez! Let's talk about a somewhat sensitive topic. Let's listen to The Gr8 Gunny Charles Brown and guest Stephanie Ervin (Social Advocate for Native American Justice and a educational Cultural Response Trainer) give a moderate, down-the-middle and highly educated response to the controversy of the Little Mermaid's live action movie casting of African-American actress Halle Bailey as Ariel. This gives perspective from all sides of the isle. Here are the questions: Is this the same ole' Hollywood pacification? Is it fair to alter what we all know as Ariel? Should they give the best actress the role-no matter her color? Interesting I say! Take a listen to this potential award winning podcast! In addition, listen to Stephanie talk about #visibilitymatters for indigenous women.
