Dear media,

Don't hyper-sexualize me,

Don't portray me as 'controversial' and others as 'powerful and bold'.

Don't make me the sidekick, I'm more than a decoration for your excuse of 'racial diversity'

Don't make me the dark skinned ratchet girl befriended by the light-skinned girl

Don't advertise mine and my ancestors hairstyles as hot new trends modeled my white girls, don't take my culture and use it as yours. By the way, it's not a hot new trend it been there forever.
Don't advertise my hairstyles on people who don't have my hair type

Don't go around telling me black girls are culture appropriators for straightening our hair, your the ones who call our natural hair ugly.

Don't make me have to tag my books like I'm warning people that there black characters  inside.

🔞WARNING: This book contains scenes of strong language, nudity, violence and black people.

Yeah that sounds about right.
