Sometimes something as small as a sweater can be in the way

You don’t know how happy I am to have my braids . I’ve always wanted box braids since I was little. I use to get made fun of by my Hispanic peers for having “black hair” and made fun of by my Black peers for having “good hair”. Being mixed I never felt like I fit into either group so I didn’t want to give anyone any ammunition to ostracize. Well forget all those people that made me feel like I wasn’t allowed to embrace either of my cultures. I don’t care what anyone has to say about me. Thanks @natakahc for the braid and thanks @aprilbutterflybrown for the photo
Although I do like the Newtina ship, but as a black female fan of the Harry Potter franchise, I was rooting for Leta and Newt more. Taking away the race dynamics, Leta and Newt simply have more chemistry than Newt and Tina. The way that Newt starred at the photo of her in the first film was beautiful. Leta Lestrange’s storyline is incredibly hurtful and offensive. If you’re going to write more diversie characters, specifically black female characters, don’t write her as the product of the rape of a black woman, a “tragic mulatto,” and then only to have her sacrifice herself for her white suitors. Regardless of which Scamander she ended up with, I wanted Leta to be more than a mere footnote in the love story of Newt Scamander and Tina Goldstein’s relationship. I wanted to see more black women be sought after and loved as full human beings and love interest in sci-fi/fantasy. I know that Tina and Newt’s marriage and Bellatrix Lestrange exist in the HP books. So, does that mean JK Rowling planned this awful storyline from the beginning? However, At the very least, a fun friendship between Leta, Newt, Tina, Queenie, and Jacob. I honestly wish JK Rowling hadn’t even created Leta Lestrange to disrespect her in this way.
I was fortunate to be apart of @sammyborras’ amazing Janelle Monáe/Dirty Computer fanzine with my op-ed discussing how she has impact my life. Janelle has shaped, changed, and SAVED my life with her artistry since 2010. She makes me feel seen, loved, and valued. There is power in art. I present…
