Some people are still confused about my DA diversified series, so for education purposes have a handy little list of reading materials:

• “Casting minorities as white characters is not a double standard.” – A concise breakdown of whitewashing (with visual metaphors!)
• “Are there poc from history that weren’t slaves or servants?” – A great deconstruction of POC through history, their erasure in media, and what it all means today.
• “Why Diversity Matters To All of Us” – A heartfelt piece on diversity, representation, and why it’s so important for everyone to see reflections of themselves in fiction.

If y’all have suggestions for more things to read, feel free to send ‘em my way and I’ll add them to the list. 👍 It’s never too late to educate yourself. Everyone’s learning every day!
