Issac Bailey: Ariel doll represents culmination of American story that hasn’t been told.
He says Halle Bailey, the inspiration behind the doll, is his niece.
Bailey: Disney chose Halle to depict Ariel because she’s uber talented, works hard and has a long record of success.
The doll, created with Halle in mind, has dark skin, dreadlocks and a well-placed mole.
Nine members of my family were literally in the White House because the nation’s first black First Lady Michelle Obama invited Chloe and Halle to perform during the 2016 Easter Egg Roll.
