When I talk about INCLUSION I mean that -ish My characters are not perfect people They are not skinny young white women They represent the global majority, marginalized, and historically underrepresented. They are real Here’s why I wrote DEATH BY DROP SPINDLE⬇️⬇️⬇️ www.instagram.com/reel/DI_tu3m...

This is why I have a hard time saying YES to opportunities that I don’t control cuz years later like clockwork that white woman is found to be problematic. You do your research + ask the questions They claim to be so “inclusive” but boom, sooner or later, go around spewing hate. I hate it here.
