"Princess Jalicia" by Allison and Caitlin

For our project, we decided to focus on the issue of cultural appropriation on Halloween. The story we created involved a young princess of color whose kingdom is punished by the queen. It is the princess' duty to restore beauty to the kingdom. 
The way this is involved with cultural appropriation is that little girls everywhere look up to this character and want to dress up as her for Halloween. But these costumes involve blackface and the trouble that this causes is what our projects explores. Specifically in the form of a blog post and it's comments.
