ali hazelwood is literally out here saying hey the money you would give me, give to black authors. not sure which black authors? oh, here's a list you can start with and everyone and their mother is calling her a racist.
before asking ali hazelwood to write black protagonists how about yall read books written by black women, about black women. ali hazelwood always uplifts black authors on her page because she knows they aren’t being promoted and read. she doesn’t want to take up that space.
i’m fine with this. i have no interest in demanding Black fmcs from yt authors when, as she said, i can read from the plethora of Black authors who are writing them & writing them WELL. what can a white woman give me in a Black fmc that i can’t get from a Black author & better?
You're tellin me in 24 hrs, the NVidia CEO steps down in a spy scandal, all of Microsoft & Outlook goes down globally, a building collapses in NYC, a Tanker sinks a River cruise ship in New Orleans and now the FAA has grounded ALL flights across the country?! WTF is going on??

Israel has once again bombed the Nasser Hospital in Gaza.
At least six people have died with 20+ others wounded. Dr. Rizk Abu Shaira, who featured in the documentary ‘American Doctor’, was killed in the strike.
