In May 2002, Yaba Baker was on a business trip in California when he saw a commercial for the Disney Princess product line. Looking at the princess’ faces on the screen, he wondered where the representation was for Black women.

Baker, who was already an author at the time, decided to create Princess Briana, first as a screenplay and then as a book. She is not your normal princess. She is independent, smart and down-to-earth. Instead of sitting around waiting for her prince, she is running a country and challenging conventional beliefs about princesses.
