Disneyland is the happiest place on earth. They sell it as such, and even though I know it’s a marketing tagline that was probably brainstormed in a boardroom, every time I descend onto the streets of Disneyland Resorts in Anaheim, California, I buy into the magic. Every time. This trip was no different. For the celebration of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Disneyland, Disney brought together Black press from around the world to experience the ride ahead of its opening on November 15, 2024. For so many of us, The Princess and the Frog’s Princess Tiana was an answer to decades of feeling excluded from the Disney Princess cinematic universe. When she stepped on the scene with her New Orleans’ twang and ambitious spirit, Tiana felt like a gift for all of us Black girls who yearned to see ourselves reflected in these fairytales, and like an invitation for all the Black girls who get to grow up in a world with Tiana to dream a little bigger and let their imaginations run wild.
“Princess Tiana is everybody’s princess,” Charita Carter, Executive Creative Producer for Walt Disney Imagineering, said while speaking to press at the Disneyland hotel the morning after the attraction’s opening. In 2022, Carter became the first African-American Woman Executive Producer Of Walt Disney Imagineering, according to Forbes. “She’s an American princess. She’s a relatively modern princess. She hails from a real place, the beautiful city of New Orleans. She wasn’t born to royalty. She has a working mom who has her own shop now. She has family ties to the military. She’s worked hard for her dreams.” Carter went on to explain all the ways in which Tiana is relatable — from her cooking to her perseverance.”She really believes in this universal truth that what lies in us has the potential to make our dreams come true.”
Carter’s colleague Carmen Smith, also a Black woman and the senior vice president of Executive Creative Development, Content and Inclusive Strategies at Walt Disney Experiences, spoke about how important it was to them to see Tiana’s story come to life. She told us that she knew, even in the early stages of developing the character, that Tiana’s “story had a bigger destiny.” Of course, Princess Tiana was inspired by legendary New Orleans chef Leah Chase also known as the “Queen of Creole Cuisine”. Smith described Chase as “The iconic figure of New Orleans who imbues all of the attributes of kindness, warmth, community, family and a great source of inspiration for all of us.” When Chase was still alive (she died at 96 in 2019), she spoke to Oprah.com about when Disney first approached her to adapt her life into Tiana’s story. “They had a Cinderella, they had a Snow White, they had all types of little white princesses, so I guess the makers thought that it’s about time we show a Black princess,” she said. “And that is the cutest thing, and they have done it in such a beautiful way.”
Chase wasn’t able to see the “tangible, physical and fantastical” way Disneyland is now telling her story with the Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, but her family is keeping her legacy alive. In a first, her family has allowed Disney to sell its exclusive spice blends from Dooky Chase Restaurant in New Orleans. In order to honor Chase’s legacy properly, the food at Tiana’s Palace had to be on point. And it was. After experiencing Tiana’s Bayou Adventure ride (I promise eating after the ride is the correct course of action), we got some gumbo and mac & cheese and it was as delicious as I imagined the food at Tiana’s restaurant would be when I first watched The Princess and the Frog.
OK, let’s get to the ride. It’s important to note that Tiana’s Bayou Adventure takes place after the events of The Princess and the Frog. The exhilarating log ride replaces Splash Mountain, which featured characters from Song of the South, the problematic racist 1946 Disney musical. Showcasing Tiana as she prepares to throw a party for Mardi Gras is an important course correction, but it’s also a fitting location for a New Orleans-inspired setting. The ride is gorgeous, complete with artwork by Louisiana artist Malaika Favorite and it also takes you on an immersive journey.
Princess Tiana is in her element, hosting a soiree, but one thing is missing: the music. As you’re on the log ride, the idea is that you’ve shrunk down to the size of a frog to journey along the bayou to find what Tiana needs. Her boo Prince Naveen is in attendance of course, along with the hilariously musical alligator Louis, the memorable Mama Odie, and new characters who also come along for the ride.
The music, like in The Princess and the Frog transports you to another place. It was composed by Grammy winners and New Orleans natives Terence Blanchard and P.J. Morton. For most of the ride, it’s a serene, fast-paced, entertaining romp full of stunning visuals and music you’ll want to bop along to. But for the final 50-foot drop (which you’ll definitely need your waterproof rain poncho for), “Special Spice” (performed by the OG voice of Tiana, Anika Noni Rose) is blaring and you’re blasted through a technicolor tunnel while getting soaked as you scream on the way down (just me?). It’s thrilling!
Rose isn’t the only vocal talent from the film who reprise their roles for the attraction., Michael-Leon Wooley as Louis and Jenifer Lewis as Mama Odie are both back. Lewis and Rose even made a surprise appearance at the official opening celebration of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, pulling up in the park’s Mark Twain steamboat and performing live to the delight of everyone in attendance, including me. Rose and Lewis performed songs from the The Princess and the Frog soundtrack including “Almost There,” as well as “Special Spice,’ the new song written by P.J. Morton specifically for the new ride.
As I was looking up at these powerhouse performers singing and dancing on a steamboat in the middle of the park, it wasn’t lost on me that Princess Tiana is now the first Black Disney princess with her own attraction at both Disney World and now Disneyland — as she should be. Even though I was a little older when Tiana debuted (15 years ago!) and I didn’t have her during my most formative years, my nieces do. The older one is 14 and she has never lived in a world without Princess Tiana. I remember watching the movie with her when she was little, and I’ll never forget how her face lit up when she first saw Tiana. My youngest niece is four years old and she hasn’t watched The Princess and the Frog yet. So far, I’ve only been able to show her clips of Tiana singing “Almost There” and she’s already hooked. Singing along to Rose and Lewis while thinking of my nieces, and of little Kathleen who would have loved Tiana so much, healed something inside of me. Little Kathleen may not have had this Disney Princess, but she’s still in there, hoping for a world where she felt like she could belong, and dreaming of a more inclusive future. She is my north star, the reason I do the work I do and put my community first in all creative endeavors. This fleeting moment at Disneyland reminded me of my purpose.
“People come up to me all the time, telling me what it has meant to them either during their childhood or now as grown ups. It’s very moving,” Rose told People Magazine. “It’s beautiful and remains something that feels very personal and special to me.”
This is your sign to take your inner child to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Disneyland (especially during the holidays!). Whether you’re a Disney adult or not (I swear I’m not), sometimes you just need to connect to that kid in you whose dreams may have been a little simpler and whose imagination ran wild. I promise the magic and wonder of youth is right there, waiting to be tapped into. As Tiana would say, you’re almost there.

Black Friday has arrived early, and deals on all your most beloved beauty brands are already here. If you’re looking to enter 2025 with your healthiest head of hair yet, look no further than Briogeo’s biggest sale of the year.
Founder Nancy Twine left a career in finance to launch her dream brand, inspired by her mother’s homemade beauty recipes. A decade later, the plant-powered hair care range is bigger than ever, and proudly makes formulas for all hair types and textures. You may have heard of Briogeo’s bestselling Don’t Despair, Repair Deep Conditioning mask and tingly Scalp Revival Micro-Exfoliating Shampoo, but the brand has plenty of other underrated products and tools in its assortment. Best of all, everything is 30% off from now until Cyber Monday.
Below, R29’s beauty editors share their Briogeo favorites — all on sale now.
Don’t Despair, Repair Deep Conditioning Mask, $39.00 $27.30
“There’s a reason why this restoring hair mask consistently wins awards. The key ingredients are proteins, which boast strengthening properties — ideal for those who regularly use hot brushes or other heated tools and tend to forget the heat protection (that’ll be me). It acts like scaffolding for weak hair strands and happens to seal my split ends thanks to a mega mix of nourishing, shine-enhancing oils like rosehip and almond oil. When my hair is in need of some serious TLC, usually in the colder months, I use this in place of conditioner for a serious moisture boost. It’s one hair mask I’ll always recommend to my friends on the lookout for something transformative. Even better? It works on all hair types and textures.” — Jacqueline Kilikita, Beauty Director
Scalp Revival Rosemary Pre-wash Oil, $32.00 $22.40
“I love a pre-shampoo scalp treatment to help hydrate and reinvigorate my roots, and Briogeo’s has become a fast favorite. It’s made with rosemary (which is sometimes referred to as “nature’s minoxidil”) to help encourage hair growth, as well as lipids to hydrate and soothe an irritated scalp. I like to leave this on for 10 minutes before shampooing, and let my hair air-dry post-shower. The result: Hair so soft and healthy you can’t stop touching it.” — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer
Scalp Revival Micro-exfoliating Shampoo, $42.00 $29.40
“A recent trip to a trichologist uncovered a bout of seborrheic dermatitis, a type of scalp eczema that feeds off of oils on the scalp and results in yellow flakes that can cause itching. The easiest solution was to wash my hair more frequently, and once a week, I also enlist the help of a gentle scalp scrub to eradicate pesky flakes that cling to my hair. I love that this lathers up on contact with water so you don’t feel like you’re rubbing sand onto your head. The addition of tea tree and mint oils means it’s satisfyingly invigorating and makes my hair and scalp feel brand new. There’s no need to worry about drying effects, though. This formula is filled to bursting with richer ingredients like coconut oil, which gives my hair a nice shine. A little goes a long way.” — Jacqueline Kilikita, Beauty Director
Farewell Frizz Blow Dry & Heat Protectant, $26.00 $18.20
“I’ve been heat-styling my hair more lately, and found that my thick, fine lengths loves a weightless balm to help condition and protect. I got Briogeo’s Farewell Frizz cream as a Sephora freebie, and it was love at first feel. It’s hydrating enough for my dry strands (they drink it right up), and it really does help smooth my halo of flyaways and frizz. At a discount, I’ll be stocking up.” — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer
Vegan Boar Bristle Brush, $28.00 $19.60
“The world is sleeping on this brush. Briogeo’s vegan boar bristle brush made me realize the importance of daily brushing — and my hair has truly not been the same since. I’ve gone through multiples and even bought an Amazon brush cleaning kit to keep mine in tip-top shape. It smooths and adds gorgeous shine to your hair, and I love that no boars were harmed in the process. Whenever friends ask me if it’s worth spending more on a certain expensive boar bristle brand, I point them towards this one instead.” — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer
Superfoods Replenishing Shampoo + Conditioner, $52.00 $36.40
“Briogeo makes a couple different formulations of its Superfoods shampoos and conditioners, but this one is my favorite. The hero ingredients — apple, kale, and matcha — wouldn’t be out of place on my grocery list, and I love that the packaging reminds me of a green juice. It’s not a harshly clarifying product, and it won’t load your hair up with too much moisture, making it feel greasy. In other words, it’s the Goldilocks of shampoo and conditioners. My hair is always so soft and shiny after using it, and the light apple scent is a joy for the senses.” — Karina Hoshikawa, Senior Writer
Scalp Revival Dry Shampoo, $25 $17.50
“Something about dry shampoo in an aerosol can feels aggressive on my sensitive scalp, so I try to avoid it where I can. That’s where Briogeo’s Scalp Revival comes in. All you do is shake the bottle slightly, twist the lid to open and squeeze. Rather than spitting out powder, it lends a blanket of even coverage, which makes massaging it into my roots and brushing it out so much easier. I love that it makes my shorter front pieces look voluminous, as though I’ve re-styled them with a hot brush.” — Jacqueline Kilikita, Beauty Director

Wicked’s Elphaba Has Always Been Black. Cynthia Erivo’s Stunning Performance Cements It
Elphaba is green. It’s the first thing Glinda says to her in Wicked, the Jon M. Chu-directed blockbuster movie-musical adaptation of Stephen Schwartz’s Broadway classic. The fact that Elphaba Thropp (Cynthia Erivo) is green is as paramount to Wicked’s plot as Galinda Upland’s (Ariana Grande) […]

Elphaba is green. It’s the first thing Glinda says to her in Wicked, the Jon M. Chu-directed blockbuster movie-musical adaptation of Stephen Schwartz’s Broadway classic. The fact that Elphaba Thropp (Cynthia Erivo) is green is as paramount to Wicked’s plot as Galinda Upland’s (Ariana Grande) glamor and popularity. Because she is green, Elphaba is bullied relentlessly, abandoned by her own father, and ostracized from all of Oz. She’s an outsider: unpretty, unappreciated and unpopular. It’s a position anyone who’s ever been in spaces with people who don’t look like them can relate to. And yet, while it may be controversial to say, to me, Elphaba has always been Black. When I first saw the musical in Toronto many years ago, the recognition hit me as hard as Glinda hitting on Fiyero (Jonathan Bailey). Of course, Elphaba, with her nonconformist activist spirit, resilience, strength in the face of insurmountable challenges and a less-talented blonde girl trying to steal her shine, was Black-girl coded. What else would she be? And yet, in the 30-year history of Wicked, Elphaba had only been played by one Black woman (Alexia Khadime) full-time in a professional production of the musical before Erivo.
Khadime played Elphaba from 2008 to 2010 on London’s West End. “A lot of racism came with that because I was a Black girl playing the role that was predominantly played by a white girl,” she told Marie Claire in 2020. “There were definitely people who made comments that I was taking away the white roles. At the time I played Elphaba, Obama was president. Then the comments were, ‘Just because we’ve got a Black president doesn’t mean we have to have a Black Elphaba.’”
Now, over a decade later on the big screen, Elphaba has micro braids and Cynthia Erivo’s face so the character’s greenness is undeniably informed by her Blackness. Not only did Erivo make the connection on purpose, she is openly discussing it so there is no confusion. “The braids were something that I really wanted from the very, very beginning, because I knew that I wanted to make sure that I was infused in this woman who was also green,” Erivo told Unbothered’s Jessika Hardy earlier this month in LA about how her identity informed her portrayal of one of the most infamous witches in pop culture history. “I didn’t want to erase everything about myself.”
The braids were something that I really wanted from the very, very beginning, because I knew that I wanted to make sure that I was infused in this woman who was also green… I didn’t want to erase everything about myself.
cynthia erivo
If you told me Erivo was just reciting a deleted scene from Wicked with that line, I would believe you. Because refusing to erase everything about herself is one of the core tenets of Elphaba’s personality. From the moment she steps foot in Shiz University proclaiming with confidence that yes, she’s green, she’s not seasick, no, she didn’t eat grass as a child and she’s always been green, Elphaba is disallowing her own erasure. “I really love those lines, because it immediately takes the ownership of who she is and what she is, and there’s a sort of bravery to it, even though there’s that vulnerability of making the joke before anyone else makes the joke,” Erivo said. “But to finish it with, ‘and yes, I’ve been green my whole life’ owns it all, and I think that’s something that I’ve learned to do over time, to really own all of who I am, and that not just what I look like, but what I am, my queerness — all of those things combined that make me who I am. And I think that quiet confidence that she has is something that I really wanted her to have. She has pride in who she is.”
The fact that Elphaba is proud of her skin is radical in the world of Oz and essential to the overall (yet sometimes heavyhanded; hey it’s a musical) message of Wicked: that power should be questioned, villainized women of color are usually right, and being different is badass, actually. Elphaba’s pride is tied up in the confidence she isn’t supposed to have, and it’s why she’s able to [spoiler] stand up to the wizard (Jeff Goldblum) when the time comes. Elphaba’s choice to oppose and expose the wizard comes from a place of self-assurance and stands in stark contrast to the insecurity she displays a few scenes earlier during “I’m Not That Girl” when she’s doubting that a guy like Fiyero (Bailey is so swoon-worthy, charming, and hot in this role, I can’t talk about him without being inappropriate) could ever love her. “She who’s winsome/ she wins him/ Gold hair with a gentle curl/ That’s the girl he chose/ And Heaven knows/ I’m not that girl.” This scene destroyed me — not just because I was transported right back to elementary school when I had a crush on a boy who preferred blondes— but because I know in so many scenarios, including the industry Erivo has to navigate, Black women are sold the lie that we aren’t “that girl”, that white women “win” by default and that “wishing only wounds the heart.” Through her Elphaba—tough yet soft, defensive yet empathetic, uncertain yet resolute— Erivo delivers a layered complexity to the Wicked Witch of the West and, ultimately, transforms a villain into the hero Black girls need.
“I think I’ve had some time to reckon with the skin I’m in, and to be comfortable walking into a room and being the only one; people looking at me and not necessarily seeing beauty, but having to find that for myself and accept all of the things I am, find my own beauty and be able to call myself beautiful, regardless of what other people think,” Erivo continued to Unbothered. “What I wanted for Elphaba was that when she walks into a room, the skin she’s in is not new to her. It’s something that she’s lived with her whole entire life, and so there has to be a confidence otherwise she would never leave the house. I felt like, why would she not be confident in what she looks like if it’s what she knows every single day?”
Through her Elphaba— tough yet soft, defensive yet empathetic, uncertain yet resolute— Erivo delivers a layered complexity to the Wicked Witch of the West and, ultimately, transforms a villain into the hero Black girls need.
kathleen newman-bremang
It’s this kind of thoughtfulness that’s on full display in Erivo’s performance. From Elphaba’s freckles to her eye color, to the slow-build of her vocal journey in the film, every detail is at once an homage to the source material (from Frank L. Baum’s children’s book, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, to the 1939 classic film, The Wizard of Oz, to Gregory Maguire’s 1995 novel to Broadway) to something that’s entirely of Erivo’s own making. There’s an argument for leaving IP as recognizable as Wicked alone. It’s easy to say it should have stayed on the stage. But then we wouldn’t have the subtlety of Erivo’s mannerisms, her thrilling physical choices that ground Elphaba as a fully-formed person with flaws and trauma and hopes and dreams. We wouldn’t have her renditions of “The Wizard And I” and “Defying Gravity” which both made me burst into tears.
Before Wicked, I knew Cynthia Erivo was a star. I’ve seen Widows and that Tony Award performance of “I’m Here” from The Color Purple (you know the one). After Wicked, I know that she is so talented she can break me with nothing more than a key change and a chin quiver. In the final moments of Wicked, its broader social and political commentary comes into focus. The wizard is outed as a fraud (both Goldblum and Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible play these scenes with the pitch-perfect precision that comes only with their experience) who is trying to use Elphaba’s powers to oppress animals (who are walking, talking, law-abiding citizens in Oz). She pushes back against the naked emperor of Emerald City and refuses to do his bidding. Her supposed best friend Glinda folds immediately, and like the 55% of white women who voted for Trump, she chose her own selfish interests over what was good and right — and over supporting a woman of color. It wasn’t hard to draw a straight line between Wicked’s allegory and the current political climate in which a raging lying dictator is manipulating people into following his dissent into tyrannical control and plans of mass subjugation. But where the film could have veered into corny over-the-top territory, it’s Erivo who steadies the proverbial flying broom, grounding the story back to Oz and back to Elphaba, a girl who is just trying to do good.
“I think goodness is trying to discover the things that you know will help others, not just yourself,” Erivo said. “Sometimes doing the good thing is often doing the hard thing, and you kind of have to reckon with that and be brave enough to do the hard thing, which I think actually Glinda does in that Oz [during the] ballroom moment. It’s the moment where Glinda goes, ‘Oh, I can’t just be silent. I can’t just do nothing. I actually have to face and take the challenge of this person who’s showing her vulnerability, and then she comes and joins her.” The moment Erivo is referring to happens after Glinda sets Elphaba up to be ridiculed at a party but instead joins in on Elphaba’s quirky dancing, diffusing the situation and staving off bullies. Grande is exquisite in the scene (her comedic timing is on point throughout the film) and it acts as a stunning juxtaposition of the ending, when Glinda lets her silence consume her and does nothing. “And I think with Elphaba, she’s always doing the hard thing, so she always ends up speaking up when no one else will speak up, and she always, sometimes says the wrong thing, but it’s not for want of not being good,” Erivo said.
She ends up speaking up when no one else will. Sound familiar? Elphaba is Black because a Black woman is playing her in this instance, but also because she’s the one who puts herself on the line to save others, who is judged unfairly for it, who is villainized for no good reason, and who isn’t allowed to “fly off the handle” lest she be banished and persecuted.
“Anyone who is of an ethnic minority, who is Black or Jewish or gay, or a woman feeling she grew up in a man’s world, or anyone who grew up feeling a dissonance between who they are inside and the world around them, will identify with Elphaba,” Broadway creator Schwartz said in Carol de Giere’s biography. “Since that’s so many of us, I think there will be many of us who will.”
Black women and girls will no doubt identify with this Wicked’s Elphaba. We’ve been seeing ourselves in this character for 30 years. And now, with Erivo’s intentionality, her masterful performance, and her micro braids, Elphaba gets to be ours, officially.
