Important ideas to consider when creating characters who are black and indigenous people of color. (x)

There is a lot of discourse in the notes here that seems to boil down to ‘but I liked that character,’ and it’s important to realize this is not post criticizing these characters, it’s a post heightening how BIPOC often fall into these stereotypes, how important it is to keep an eye out for them, and especially how important it is to get BIPOC feedback on your work. We all absorb these things unconsciously, and it takes work to pry them loose.

Brief Description:

“The story follows the members of a support group in San Francisco as they go on their personal journeys to face their past traumas, mental health struggles, stressful life problems, and loneliness.
