nedaa-awad

don’t skip please 💔 😓

This is my daughter Lia 💔 Her dreams have become so small, just to live without fear and to eat when she is hungry.

I am a mother and I feel helpless every day in front of her. She lost her school, her childhood, even her simplest rights

Her father is injured and lost his job, and I am now pregnant with a baby who will be born in a tent with winter coming. We have no home, no safety, and not enough food.

I write to you with a heavy heart and I ask you to please help us, even a little. Believe me, any donation no matter how small can make a big difference for us, a loaf of bread, a box of milk, a blanket.

We are close to reaching our goal, and any help or sharing from you could give my daughter some of the safety she deserves.

Nedda, her husband, and their young daughter lost their home in Gaza when it was destroyed by a rocket during the recent war. Like many othe

RANT/DISCUSSION ABT POC REPRESENTATION IN JLB'S BOOKS (focusing on Lia and Max):

correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't think max and lia's ethnicities were ever explicitly stated in their books. for lia, when cassie first meets her, is simply referred to as "Asian," and as for max, i don't even think she got that 😭 As readers, we just made the conclusion that they're most likely Chinese because "Zhang" and "Liu" are typically Chinese surnames. (Even if I am wrong, my point still stands because of the fact that I don't even remember if their ethnicities were discussed—that's how quickly it was brushed over by jlb).

Why is it that white authors are almost afraid of being specific about the ethnicities of poc characters? like i promise it's not racist if at some point the character mentions that they're Chinese or whatever ethnicity they are.

And i've seen this pattern irl too. (I'm half-Korean myself so maybe that's why I'm more attuned to noticing these things irl). For example, the other day I went to this candy store and they were selling Ramune, which is a Japanese soft drink. But underneath, on the little card thingy that tells u how much it is, it just said "Asian Soda." is it that hard to at least call it "Japanese Soda?" or here's a thought—call it by its actual name??? AND when i went to the movie theater the other day they had "Asian Salad" on the menu. like omg would it kill you to be any more specific? and now books are also perpetuating this concept of "Asian" being specific enough, which almost seems to me as promoting the idea that all Asian people are the same, which is DEFINITELY an existing stereotype. and jlb is not the only author guilty of this

to preface my last remark i want to say that there is obviously absolutely NOTHING wrong with having a Chinese character. it seems to me though whenever a white author throws in an East Asian character for the sake of diversity (🫩), the character is almost always Chinese, or implied to be Chinese. (e.g.: Frank Zhang from Heroes of Olympus, Cho Chang (granted, Chang could also be a Korean surname) from Harry Potter. Bonus points to J.K. Rowling for using the most stereotypical name ever!!! (sarcasm obviously).) Again I'm just assuming here but maybe it's because white authors view Chinese characters as the "safest" and most "obvious" choice? idk. (Again, NOTHING wrong with having a Chinese character! I'm just pointing out a trend I noticed)

Anyways I'm really glad that other people here are also recognizing the pretty crappy poc representation (i just chose to talk abt lia and max but as we all know this extends to many other characters, such as rohan and lyra) in jlb's books.

OKI this is already really long so BAI 😼

(also pls let me know if anything here seems insensitive and i'll change the wording)
