Why run to the idea of a white actress playing Ursula? I've had a vision, and even an obsession with wanting to see a black female actress playing her, and low and behold I came upon this video... I would die.

They need to make this happen!! I clearly have a similar artistic direction and vision as this great photographer. Queen Latifa for Ursula!

Colored characters ARE limited on this series. And it would be a great opportunity to include more colored characters. I believe the purple skin on the animated series was an artistic interpretation of "black" skin anyway. There have been 3 times in my life (within the past 3 years) that I got to meet a black, larger, and sassy women and coicidentally they all seemed to be smokers (as the actress that voiced Ursula did too), and IMMEDIATELY reminded me or Ursula when they laughed! They even had grey or white short hair (obviously curly) but I always thought to say to them, submit a video on youtube, put on some drag makeup, straighten and style your hair like Ursula where a black, strapless dress and go for it. Play Ursula! And would hope for them that they would get noticed to play her in something. Either OUAT, or another project.

Tell me what you all think.

Hope you all enjoy this video I stumbled upon...
