The Grounded Bag Podcast™

In this episode, I will be talking about a topic that is an ongoing discussion and why our culture is still divided. Recently Disney released new details on the new Live Action film "Ariel" and announced the actress who will be singing under the sea. Halle Bailey will be our Ariel, she one of the stars of the Freeform television show "Grownish", plus one half of the duo Chloe X Halle. This new live-action film became a trending topic, not because of the excitement of Ariel being a live-action film, but the fact that Ariel will be an African American girl instead of the original representation of a pale face red-haired mermaid. This does not come as a shock to me that Halle is receiving backlash, but social media is making this a prejudice situation instead of mere dislike. We are all lovers of movies and at some point, we envision movie characters like ourselves, so why is Halle Bailey receiving this backlash when Will Smith who played the iconic Robin Williams character as the Genie in Disney's "Aladdin" was welcomed? This is borderline line favoritism and another example that gender still plays a factor in any industry. Today we are taking back our voice and letting go of these harmful stereotypes.

In this episode, we will be discussing the cultural phenomenon of survival and the lack of spiritual discernment in how we communicate with those around us. Every day 1 in 10 children are latchkey children while their parents are working, for most, having the blessing of having two parents offers more opportunities to have at least one form of adult supervision but not will child is luck. For a child living in a single-parent home, you are taught to be responsible and watchful as you walk home, bathe, cook your meals if necessary and do homework while your parent is working. My story is similar to this example, being raised in a single home, my mother worked as a nurse for close to 10 years and never once missed an appointment, parent-teacher meetings, important event or failed to create special moments with me. Despite having surgery on her brain, my mother recovered with great faith and prayer, never letting anyone whether it be a man, family members, or outside influencers to distort our childhood. 

This brings me to a film that tells the story and consequences of being a latchkey child, especially when your parent is not spiritually present or strong enough to overcome the troubles of life. We all have breaking points and trying to survive is the ultimate goal, but why do we have to force ourselves to do something that could be a detriment to our lives? Constantly staying in a mode of survival will put you or your child at risk, this is why I love that the movie "Pihu" affected me and placed me emotionally in every scene, alone in an apartment but luckily I had my three older siblings with me instead of fending for myself at a young age. 

Pihu is a social thriller starring the two-year baby girl. She is living in a home where the adults are going through a complicated phase. Being a toddler, she is occasionally trapped in the accidental situations.

Director: Kapri Vinod

Stars: Rahul Bagga, Pihu Myra Vishwakarma, Prerna Vishwakarma

This movie is the story for everyone, whether you are a latchkey or child living in a two-parent home, the harsh reality that unfortunate events can happen and how life is fragile like a butterfly.
