I want to first say this about people angry that the little mermaid is black now. It’s a god damn cartoon/fable. And the original story (written in 1837) is not at all reflected in the version that came out in 1989. So unless you’re asking that it be the real OG version, you can go f##k right the f##k off, honestly.
But now for a better story. This story takes place on a Delta flight where Halle Bailey received a note card from the pilot. Before reading further, grab a tissue.
To her surprise, the note card read: “Miss Bailey, it is an honor to have you on board today. Thank you for being an inspiration to little brown girls all over the world, like we were a few years ago.”
Halle tweeted the card saying “this amazing pilot on the plane gave me this beautiful note today”.
But it’s not ever yet! With the best line of the day, Delta’s twitter handler responded to her post with “you’re giving so many little girls wings. Thank you for letting us be part of your world.”
Honestly, I could cry.
