BURBANK (KABC) — A young Disney star is showing fellow students of color what is possible through the “Little Cinderella Reporters Initiative.” It’s part of the Saving Our Daughters program designed to help young female students develop skills for a future career.

12-year-old actress, Mykal-Michelle Harris has an impressive resume. At a young age she’s appeared on multiple shows like Disney’s “Raven’s Home” and ABC’s “Mixed-ish.” Harris stepped into the classroom at Walt Disney Elementary School in Burbank to talk to students about her career and the Little Cinderella Reporters Initiative.

“I want these girls to take away from this session today that it is ok to want to speak your truth, want to speak your mind,” said Harris. “It’s ok to be creative.”

The initiative branches from the umbrella organization, Saving Our Daughters. A special guest called a “Disney Celebrity Godparent” periodically comes in to speak to students, which in this case was Mykal-Michelle.

“This program actually helps me be more confident at public speaking because it helps me read questions and get to know the answers,” said Nayeli Royster.

This program has a strong focus on female students of color. The goal is to help students develop skills for future career development.

“I believe that this program provides a lot of skills that they can carry with them into their real lives which is what we want for our students,” said Principal Rebecca Harris. “So their speaking skills, their ability to listen and interact with others, to articulate their interests and things they’d like to express.”
