Important Ideas To Consider When Creating Characters Who Are Black And Indigenous People Of Color. (x)

sit down, we learning about hbcus today!!

this ones for the girls

the water warriors fighting for access to clean water for all

the teenagers imprisoned for fighting back against oppressive regimes 

those fighting for access to education for all

for the future of the planet 

for gender equality 

for safety and protection from gun violence

for governmental representation and engagement for youths 

for the rights of immigrants 

for syria and the rights of refugees 

for literacy and the representation of WOC in books

for trans and queer rights 

for protection of girls against forced marriage and child slavery

i hope that one day we live in a world where children are allowed to just be children, where they dont have to fight tooth and nail for their rights and their futures, but i could not be prouder of this generation

hey you guys! so i wanted to helped educate everyone on some little known black history. you guys may remember when disney channel did a short special on the clinton 12, because cameron boyce’s grandmother is one them. i decided to do some more research and dig a little deeper to find out more details about the history changing event. 

*Feel free to reblog this*

Hey y’all!

Me, @lxstfulbeans @skepticalkoi-catastrophe and @kalopsiaologist have decided to come together to create a HUGE Ao3 and Wattpad account exclusively for black/poc readers. We know how upsetting it is to read a fic/book/one-shot where it’s literally x wh*te reader in a nutshell and no representation for POCS whatsoever. And because of that, we decided to take one for the team and do this cuz chile...it’s been getting way outta hand and me personally, I’m sick of it.

It would mean a lot of us if y’all could support us by following us on both accounts, and we promise you, that we’ll go above and beyond to write the best fics for y’all to enjoy.

We’re currently planning our first fic! Stay tune for that👀

Here’s the links that’ll take u straight to the accounts!:
