Introspection about representation

I saw this video about a little girl who said, "That's me!" while watching Philippa Soo in "Hamilton" [Source]

What does my daughter see when she looks out into the world? Does she see her own potential -- the possibilities of what she can achieve?

Does she see successful people who are like her? Ways she can contribute? That her talents are valued?

Does she see herself as beautiful? While still relying on her character? Will she be able to make her way in the world without compromising integrity? 

Just some things going through my mind....
