Observations of a Black Millennial pop-culture junkie who teethed on The Little Mermaid. Ponders successive generations' tendency to produce fewer good/evil narratives in favor of messy relationships. Disney was a shaping force for her; she describes growing into a love-hate relationship with the Mouse. At the end, she's clubbed and dragged by Megyn Kelly. Recommended (the book, not the dragging).
