When it came to the day of her audition, Halle was trembling with
nerves. She recalled: “I remember being so scared and so nervous. “I’m just like, ‘I can’t believe I’m even gonna go for this.'”
But once she got over her impostor syndrome, Halle admitted it was a “beautiful experience” filming the movie.
She continued: “Going into the filming process, I had to learn and say to myself that you can do it and it’s okay and that my sister is here, and she was. It was just a beautiful experience for me to kind of spread my wings in that way.”
Halle loved getting to “reinvent Ariel” and is “grateful” she had the opportunity to inspire other young Black and brown children.
She concluded: “But [I’m] so grateful that I kind of get to reinvent Ariel and show other young, beautiful Black and brown children that hey, you can be this too. You are magical and mythical and all of the wonderful things in between as well.”
