Okay, so some of you probably already know but on top of creating comics, I also make visual novels (which is like a game/story that you can interactively read like the chose your ending books from back in the day) and I’ve been given the title Indie game developer (so nifty ♥) and there is a lack of Women of color and even People of color in the game industry (Don’t even get me started on all the other industries because I’m trying to stay positive today )
So another indie game developer is trying to help create a game that shines the light on this situation. Here is the message that she posted on her twitter and I’m just doing a fellow indie developer signal boost for her.
If you want to share your experience but don’t want your name attached then you can also be left as anonymous.

I’ve already turned in my example about one of my experiences in my automotive class during my sophomore year of high school. I really wish that I would have copied everything that I typed so that I could paste it here for you all to read.

A lot of times people want us to close our mouth when we speak up about the injustice we face because of the color of our skin. We didn’t have a choice in the matter for what color we are. I was born black, my skin cells are black, my family is black, the blood in my vain is from others that are black. I am black, period point blank. People make all sorts of decisions in life but picking what color you want to be is never your choice. You can’t be black and wake up and say “Oh! I decided that I want to be white instead. Skin, blood, culture, remove thine self from my very begin.”

So for those of you who might have had to keep there mouth shut about the hurtful things that you might have gone through because of the color of your skin, why not take the time out to share your story here?

Don’t be ashamed of the beautiful color of your skin that God blessed you with. When he formed you in your mothers belly he gave you the color that he saw fit and just think about it. God personally formed this color, this hair texture, this everything just for little old me.

At least that’s how I think and I do feel blessed <3
