Do you have advice on how to describe skin colour in writing? Im coming from writing fanfic and realized i just write like everyone knows what the character looks like 😅

And as always, I recommend reading books by Black authors to learn how we describe ourselves. Fantasy is really good at doing this in particular. My husband always highly recommends Children of Blood and Bone for it!
