It wasn’t just the story — it was the symbolism.The green skin.The framing.The ending.All of it reinforced familiar hierarchies.I wasn’t a fan of this film for children — especially not for Black girls. Because the messaging isn’t neutral. It subtly teaches who is feared, who is protected, and who is expected to carry the burden.The music is beautiful.The videography and cinematography are strong.From a technical standpoint, the film is well made.But casting and storytelling matter just as much as aesthetics. And when you look at the narrative choices as a whole, the symbolism, character positioning, and ending communicate ideas that deserve to be questioned — especially when young audiences are watching.We can appreciate the artistry while still being honest about the implications. And we should demand storytelling that is not only visually impressive, but also intentional, affirming, and responsible in how it shapes perception.Black girls deserve fantasy that expands possibilities — not stories that quietly place them at the margins.--the conscious bae archives are here | www.theconsciousbae.cohome of the unfiltered bae — a curated collection of ebooks, insights, and perspectives. my truth. my raw thoughts. no filter. explore what’s new. join the community for exclusive drops 🖤

Keke Palmer’s new show, Southern Fried Rice, is stirring up major controversy — and not the good kind. In this video, I reflects a bigger issue in Hollywood: Black creatives being used to produce content that mocks, rather than uplifts, our culture. This isn’t just about one show or film — it’s about accountability, representation, and who’s really controlling the narrative.the conscious bae archives are here | www.theconsciousbae.cohome of the unfiltered bae — a curated collection of ebooks, insights, and perspectives. my truth. my raw thoughts. no filter. explore what’s new. join the community for exclusive drops 🖤
