this video is a personal reflection and cultural commentary on belle, the disney princess who taught us that curiosity is brave and selflessness is noble.

this is an ode to belle. and to the girls who were always too much, too curious, too kind, and too giving. it’s time we talk about her story again.

🎥

inspired by: Lani’s Lensher video "An Ode to Black Whimsy" reminded me that there is space for softness, longing, and literary girls like Belle.

thank you for creating magic, Lani!📩
