The Next Disney Princess is Native Hawaiian Auli'i Cravalho - NBC News

my article for NBC Asian America re Moana
"Everything I've seen and read about Moana makes me really excited for this movie," Keith Chow, founding editor of The Nerds of Color, told NBC News. "Like it or not the Disney Princess brand is hugely influential and to see a character like Moana — who will be played by an actual Native Hawaiian actress — added to that lineup is a win all the way around. On the heels of 'Big Hero 6,' which also featured a diverse cast voiced by diverse actors, it's nice to see Disney realize that the Asian American and Pacific Islander community is a market worth serving."
