“Little Black girl, you are princess too,” she wrote in an Instagram caption.
She wanted Black girls to look at that photo and feel the same magic and empowerment she felt when she first saw Brandy portray the Disney character in the 1997 musical, alongside Whitney Houston as the fairy godmother.
“Little girls, they love Disney princesses, even to this day I still love my Black Cinderella (Brandy),” she shared.
She creates these portraits for Black women like her mother, who today is an essential ER nurse in St. Pete and who Seven says grew up as an outcast in her family because of her dark skin.
She creates the images for young Black girls whose parental guidance comes more from the internet than their own homes.
