Black Maternal Health in America is atrocious. I am always tryna encourage others not to get themselves in a position to potentially be murdered by American medical racism, which outandishly disadvantages Black women. But, people get pregnant and love babies, so whenever Black Maternal Health Week rolls around, instead of the usual awareness and warnings, I just kinda wanna show off some of the beauty of Black motherhood. So, here are a few tags that I have and maybe I'll clean this up better in the future.
Maternity | Pregnancy
Motherhood | Mother and Child | Mother and Baby | Mother and Son | Mother and Daughter
Bonus:
Happy Mother's Day
I think it's coming up? My mama died exactly a week before on last year and her death anniversary is coming up, so maybe also Mother's Day is. If it hasn't passed. I haven't looked it up yet because I wasn't really planning on doing one this year (And usually don't do much of one). Maybe next year.
BFCD Masterlist: Black Female Characters in Soap Operas
I generally do these lists in alphabetical order, but since Soap Operas often run for many years, I think this particular list I'll break down by soap opera titles.

Another World
Quinn Harding | Toni Burrell
As the World Turns
Jessica Griffin
Beverly Hills 90210
Lisa Dixon | Sherece Ashe
The Bold and the Beautiful

Ana Hamilton | Drucilla Winters | Hilary Curtis | Keesha Monroe | Lily Winters | Mamie Johnson | Simone
Why, yes. Yes, I did include both daytime soaps and nighttime dramas with soap opera vibes.
And because I don't have the channel, I haven't seen Beyond the Gates, but since it is a Black led series, I am simply putting the entire show as a tag and maybe later, I might break it down into characters.

Anime Tag | Black Anime Characters | Anime Fanart | Anime Art | Anime Style These tags are a little unkempt. I will admit to having a blindspot with most anime.
Note: Sometimes, I am confused whether something is a video game or an anime, and sometimes they are both, but sometimes, I have them tagged as the wrong one. So, if there's a character on the blog that might be an anime character that I have tagged as a videogame character instead, I may or may not switch them over from the Video Game Character Masterlist, if someone lets me know who's misplaced.
Followers of BFCD may know that I don't read very many books that are not about Black women or Black girls and most of them are written by Black women, and sometimes Black men, others quite infrequently. In Black books, there are generally multiple Black characters, as we aren't generally tokens in our own communities and stories.
But, the list also includes some characters of nonblack books, whether or not I have read them, and those are usually tokenized characters. For the ones that are not, I have decided to place the main character as the alphabetized character and other characters that are represented in those books on this blog will be in the same section of the main character's name.
For example, all Legacy of Orisha Characters with BFCD links will be listed under Zélie Adebola's name on this masterlist.
Agatha of Woods Beyond: The School for Good and Evil, Professor Dovey (Not Black in the books, but because of the movie, much of the fanart now is)
Akasha: The Vampire Chronicles (The Vampire Lestat, The Queen of the Damned) Merrick Mayfair
Alice Kingston: The Nightmare Verse (A Blade So Black, A Dream So Dark, A Crown So Cursed)
Amari Peters: Supernatural Investigations (Amari and the Night Brothers, Amari and the Great Game, Amari and the Despicable Wonders)
Amarie "Amma" Treadeau: Beautiful Creatures *I did not read this, but Viola Davis was the character in the movie and I have never known anybody but a Black femme/woman to be an Amarie, so she staying on the book list, as well.
Angelina Weasley: (Harry Potter Series) Now... This is a difficult subject. I was one of the Potterhead from my college years into after my brain fully developed. I did see all the movies in theaters and the last thing I enjoyed was The Cursed Child on Broadway. ONLY TIME I have ever seen something on Broadway... I think the last thing I saw was the first of the Fantastic Beasts movies, and shortly after that, I think was when I first found out about the TERF. For the most part, I hardly feature Potterverse things here, as it makes me upset to see the universe continuing. BUT, this page with book characters felt like I should go head and include it for this particular list. Hermione Granger, Rose Granger Weasley, Lavender Brown, Roxanne Weasely, Lally Hicks
Anne Elliot: Jane Austen... Idk Jane Austen books. I think I tried to read one or two and promptly realized they weren't for me, so if this section is messed up, I think you'll pull through. The characters probably weren't even canonically Black, so idk what to tell you. Sometimes I see aesthetics and reblog them.
Ardelia Mapp: Silence of the Lambs
Arrah N'yar: Kingdom of Souls (Kingdom of Souls, Reaper of Souls, Master of Souls) Efiya, Essnai
Autumn Knight: Pinned
Beloved: (Beloved) Sethe, Denver | Binti Ekeopara Zuzu Dambu Kaipka of Namib: Binti Trilogy (Binti, Binti: Home, Binti: The Night Masquerade) | Bitter: Bitter, Pet by Akwaeke Emezi
Bree Matthews: The Legendborn Cycle
Briseis Greene: This Poison Heart (This Poison Heart, This Wicked Fate) | Marie
The Brown Sisters: (Talia Hibbert..So, I haven't read any of these either, though I do run into aesthetics from time to time. From my perceptions, they seem to be swirler romance fiction of some sort. Not necessarily my genre, but including them because they do wind up on the page at times.) Dani Brown, Eve Brown
Camellia Beauregard: The Belles
Carmel Schneider: Nine Perfect Strangers. Idk if she's in the book because I only watched the series and I didn't care enough for the series to go read the book, but here she is, if she is in there.
Celie: The Color Purple Shug Avery, Sophia, Squeak. The Color Purple has various adaptations and interpretations. Originally a book, it belongs on the book list, however, most Tumblr content for the work come from the movies and the play.
