Brandy Reflects on Her ‘Mind-Blowing’ Casting As the First Black Cinderella
Thank Fairy Godmother I’m a Gen-Z-millenial cusp baby, because it means I never had to grow up without Brandy’s Cinderella. While the made-for-TV movie is one of the better adaptations of the tried-and-true fairy tale, it is also the first retelling to portray a Black princess. And now, in Cinderella: The Reunion, A Special Edition of 20/20, scheduled to debut ahead of the movie tonight on ABC, Brandy reflects on the enormity of her casting from both a personal and cultural point of view. “I thought I was ugly,” she says in the trailer below, commenting on white beauty standards. “And I turned out to be the first Black princess. That’s pretty mind-blowing.”
