Edit
  • Trivia
    As the lead voice of Princess Tiana in Disney's animated feature The Princess and the Frog (2009), Rose became the very first black Disney Princess.
  • Quotes
    I think there being a first black princess is going to be amazing for people of all backgrounds. Situations change, and they become extraordinarily challenging and sometimes hurtful. But the point of a Disney movie is that you can overcome these things, somehow, someway.
