🧜🏽♀️ Substack Drop!
Today I rewatched The Little Mermaid — and dug deep.
It’s not just a coming-of-age story.
It’s a tale of assimilation, queerness, white saviors, and the price of a voice.
Ursula was right.
Ariel was punished for difference.
And the final song? It’s a lie.
New essay […]
The final line of The Little Mermaid:
“Now we can walk, now we can run, now we can stay all day in the sun…”
Sounds sweet.
But it’s not liberation — it’s assimilation.
The sea doesn’t win.
It gets left behind.

I flew from NY to Oxford to share my truth.
Not just for me—but for anyone who’s ever been silenced by an inner critic
Truth becomes power when it’s spoken aloud.
