a black girl character growing her hair out long breaks more stereotypes than a black girl character having short hair

a black girl character getting to be soft and fragile breaks more stereotypes than a black girl character being strong all the time

a black girl character being protected and comforted by others breaks more stereotypes than a black girl character having no one to look out for her but herself

a black girl character being considered pretty or cute by other characters breaks more stereotypes than a black girl character being considered unattractive

not everything that is empowering for white girls is empowering for black girls

Sayonara, America… Sayonara, New York… But I’m not saying “sayonara” to you, Ash. Because this isn’t good-bye. I know we’ll see each other again someday.

You are my best friend, Ash.
