The media has definitely gotten better in terms of representation, but I don't feel like I've ever had that #FirstTimeISawMe moment– the representation of middle eastern families is often so stereotypical that it's past the point of being accurate. #ccom315
The first time I saw this character I remember asking my mom to braid my curly hair instead of straightening it bc I wanted to look like her. Curly hair has always been seen as unkept and unprofessional but she made it look cool #ccom315 #FirstTimeISawMe
#FirstTimeISawMe ... find out i was a queen and never looked back ✨

When it comes to children's television, TV producers (and parents) need to see diversity through children's eyes, and not measure it by adult standards.

#firsttimeisawme When I first taught an English lecture at Kingston Uni around 16 years ago, a #SouthAsianwoman PG student said something similar to me. #representationmatters from the front and back. Thanks @marcusryder #diversitymatters
"If the hashtag #FirstTimeISawMe was able to open up a whole discussion about on-screen diversity, maybe those of us working in the media industry need to start a new hashtag #FirstTimeISawMeWorking. Now that would be real progress!"

Proud to have an essay in this year's Children's Media Yearbook.
"A few years ago the hashtag #FirstTimeISawMe started trending... Considering we all watched TV as children this was implicitly a debate about representation in children’s programming." https://t.co/epSNp92XQJ
There were so many powerful stories under #FirstTimeISawMe. It really made me reflect on how important representation is throughout the media #315Week5
.@sense8 star @MsJamieClayton discusses the future of trans representation: “I am a disco lover, I am a woman, I am proud.��� #FirstTimeISawMe
This is more a #FirstTimeISawMe I saw me as a Disney animated character, but recently Disney released a character by the name of Princess Rebecca. She is a jewish Princess, who celebrates Hannukah on the show Elana of Avalor. #315WeekFive
@JuliaClaireRos1 I whole heartedly agree, as someone who has never realized how fortunate they were to always be represented in the media, it is important for everyone to feel as though they too are represented #FirstTimeISawMe #ccom315
#FirstTimeISawMe was watching "Life With Derek" before getting on the school bus #blendedfamilies #315WeekFive
#FirstTimeISawMe Was when I first watched #FreshOffTheBoat & #KimsConvienience online. I saw a YouTube ad & was immediately hooked! Tho, I watched on pirated sites or the CBC app. Glad more representation is coming to the big screens. #ccom315
#FirstTimeISawMe reminds me to acknowledge and celebrate diversity in all shapes and forms
#InaccessibilityMeans disabled people are shut out of conversations about representation. It means #FirstTimeISawMe isn’t for us, because we don’t see ourselves. We aren’t given the opportunities, either due to a lack of physical or cultural access.
Well ... the protagonist of my Black & Indigenous Futurisms story is like me. Self-insertion? Damned straight. Why wait in vain to see someone like me in print when I can do it myself? I can be my own hero, shero. 🙅🏾♀️ #FirstTimeISawMe #Storytelling #Fantasy #speculativefiction
I have yet to see anyone remotely like me - a multiply disabled Autistic Bipolar Lenape & Nanticoke Native American Woman 🙃 #FirstTimeISawMe https://t.co/UafPEH8iqm
#ccom315 When I saw the hashtag #FirstTimeISawMe it reminded me of this threat from when the movie Crazy Rich Asians came out. This thread is a perfect example of why #representationmatters
You’re 25 years old.
You see a movie with an all-asian cast at a screening and for some reason you’re crying and you can’t stop. You’ve never seen a cast like this in Hollywood. Everyone is beautiful.
You’re so happy you’re Chinese.

Also Cis white men can’t write the experience of such a variety of people and that’s just facts ! #FirsttimeIsawme #ccom315
“I’ve gotta hold [the doors] for the next person behind me” i love that! Despite netflix having done ~questionable~ things, a good thing they did is the @DearWhitePeople show, i saw it as a first year and it helped me navigate *me* in this foreign scene #ccom315 #FirstTimeISawMe
There’s still a lot of ground that needs to be broken. #FirstTimeISawMe
Ava DuVernay has produced the most powerful movies and docs about race that i've ever watched. even though the #firsttimeisawme is corporately motivated, i appreciate hearing her speak on her racialized experience in the industry via this hashtag #ccom315
