THE HUFFINGTON POST
By Mallika Rao
CALIFORNIA---Should little girls be encouraged to idolize princesses? Probably not. But for her series Asian American Disney Princesses,
Kim Navoa considered an alternate reality where our best-known princesses look different. Navoa, a Filipino American, staged a shoot that reimagines the heroines of her childhood. Along with a fellow photography student at the University of Illinois at Chicago, Navoa recast the animation giant's classic ingenues, from Belle to Tinkerbell. The models are friends and friends-of-friends of Navoa's, who chose the characters they wanted to portray. All identify as Asian-American. [
