“Ali hazelwood can write a warewolf and vampire but not a black woman”… because those aren’t real?!? Black women in stem face misogynoir + ali doesn’t think she can write that justice and that’s okay, instead she uplifts authors like shirlene obuobi who write black women in stem
That was the biggest brainwashing operation I've ever seen in my life. i will never forget how the whole world bullied this woman and made fun of her suffering.
The rights to Seven Days in June by Tia Williams, arguably on of the most celebrated Black romances, sat on the shelves at Prime for YEARS before they let it go and in the meantime they’ve adapted every single book from a white woman that’s ever put pen to paper.
Black PROTAGONISTS. if there’s 0 Black ppl, absolutely zero diversity, then yeah, tear they ass up. I just don’t see the point of demanding white authors to write books from Black POVs, navigating life as a Black person, etc, when Black authors are doing it and doing it BETTER.
yall are killing her but if I ask to see the books u read this year I wouldn’t see Kennedy Ryan, Beverley Jenkins, Tia Williams, Nikki Payne Shirlene Obuobi, Adriana Herrera like all you read is white so where do we go from here? u don’t actually want to read about black woman
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.
