'Nanny' employs African folklore in a haunting Black horror film

Anna Diop plays a Senegalese immigrant pursuing the American Dream in Nanny.

While the live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid casts Black actors in a preexisting white narrative, Nanny illustrates that Black people have their own folklore; Black mermaids already exist.
