Florida - Moderne Nixen schlagen Wellen

Ever since the remake of “The Little Mermaid” starring Halle Bailey, one thing has become clear: the image of slender, white mermaids with bright blue eyes and flowing blonde hair is outdated. Mermaids and mermen of all skin colors, with bellies and proud Afros, belong to the rapidly growing community of American Afro-mermaids who want to do away with traditional role clichés. “There's room for everyone in the water,” they say, and they carry this message ashore as well. Now they are meeting for the fourth time for a grand gala. Melanee Schneider is organizing the Afro Mermaids gathering in Miami. The basic requirement for participation is acceptance and tolerance for one another. And, of course, a respectful love of water.
