Halle Bailey Stuns On The Cover Of British Vogue

Halle Bailey is on the cover of May issue of British Vogue. The young singer/actress is on the issue to promote her new film, The Little Mermaid. Highlights from her interview are below.

On the backlash she received when she was announced to play Ariel: “I don’t really let that affect me. I mean, I grew up in Georgia. I’m from the Deep South. Being a Black woman, in general, you just know the way things are and how people sometimes are just blatantly racist.”

On her relationship with rapper, DDG: “Experiencing deep love for the first time in my life is something I feel has opened a whole new world for me creatively,. What it feels like to love someone other than your family, like somebody you may not have known two years ago but now they’re the centre of your world. I like all of the scary feelings that come with that. I like the suspense, the not knowing what’s going to happen, and I feel like that’s what I’m supposed to be going through in womanhood. It’s also deeply sacred. There’s a lot of eyes on me now, especially with what’s to come. And sometimes I wish I didn’t have so many eyes on me, especially experiencing something like this for the first time.”
