I was wondering what kind of female black characters do people want to see more of? Like, them being soft or selfish?
Black Girls & Women: Representation We Want
As a Black woman reader, I definitely want to see more soft Black girls and women in literature. Girls with their own self-interests (caring about oneself isnāt necessarily selfish) and not always someone elseās caregiver is great too.
Hereās my list!
More Black girlsā¦
In love
With close family bonds and healthy relationships and support systems (that donāt require enduring abuse, fixing their partner, or overall emotional labor to earn domestic happiness)
Being protected
As main characters, heroines and anti-heroes
On adventures
In fantasy and magical settings
In historical settings as peasants, upper-class society, and royalty
Descriptions of Black Afro hair, skin, features as a normal thing in books (see this compilation) and not in an Othering way
On the other hand, vibrant, sometimes hyped up descriptions that allude to their beauty (see this ask. Or this one). Not Othering, just appreciating!Ā
Put us in fancy dresses and give us a sword and let us dance at the balls and have admirers!
Experiencing complex emotions not necessarily in reaction to racism or racist violence
On the book cover! And with an accurate, not light or white-washed model
~Mod Colette
Responses:
@madamef-er
Soft black girls and nerd girls who like cute things.Ā
Shy black girls not just in situations with boys.Ā
More lgbtqia+ black girls. Studs! Femmes!Ā
Gender fluid and non conforming constantly changing their style because they like it!
Spies and not just as the āsexy baitā or 'weapons masterā let us sit behind the computer for once and be hackers and stuff
@tanlefan
Black girls who are justā¦people.
I want a fantasy escapism adventure that isnāt a thinly veiled discussion on slavery or racism or any other aspect of The Struggle. I am tired.Ā
Can I just have a happy Black girl who believes in fairies or something?
@esmeraldanacho-1776More autistic Black women/girls! I donāt care what genre really; just have them in there!
@briarsthicketAnd enby black people!
@mattiekins
Def soft black girls.Ā
Energetic and playful.Ā
Or shy and quiet.
I want to see more black girls who are nerds and not just mommy mommying or nanny nannying everyone.Ā
I want black girls who want to be a ballerina, or a talk show host, or a game designer etc.Ā
I want a black girl who gets to be happy.Ā
Who doesnāt have to act older than she is and be the shoulder for everyone, always.
@xiiishadesofgrey
I want more black lady nerds, if weāre talking modern settings! Ā
More black ladies who have a sporty/playful nature!Ā
Who arenāt afraid to get dirty and make chaos, without being dirty or frowned upon!
Strange as it sounds coming from me, more black princesses! Brandy as Cinderella in the 90s was my first Cinderella, and I LOVE that.
Please, god, more black wlws.
@daintythoughtswritersblock
I want to see tropes exercisedĀ
Black women of all shades and tones
@hazelnut4370
Tbh just fellow black people being happy, like I rarely see that,
Or enjoying hobbies
rivergoddessdream
Happily childless black women
Black women traveling the world
Fat black women in happy, healthy, poly relationships
Black cis and trans women having a true sisterhood
Autistic black women
Black women in period pieces that arenāt about slavery and donāt take place in the US
Black women thespians
Black women painters
Black women revolutionaries
Black women front and center in the narrative
Black women healers and storytellers
Non christian Black women stories
Black women rockers
#complicated black women characters #tell those stories
@missnancywrites
More Black Girlsā¦
With diverse cultural and social backgrounds!
That are nerdy, girly, intelligent, ditzy, all the personality types that white girls in literature get!
That are fragile, shy or anxious. Almost every single black woman Iāve seen in media or otherwise are wise and adult. Let us be an absolute wreck, or an anxious mess!
In science! Characters like Shuri, Moon Girl and Iron Heart in Marvel revitalized me, cuz young black girls only get two types. Both these girls are in intellectual and in science, but have bery different personalities.
In interracial relationships, and not because they hate black men or something along those lines. They just happen to be dating outside their race, black women get hate for that in real life and itās unfair. Let us have relationships outside our race! That saidā¦
In platonic relationships with black men! I think thatās important, cuz I donāt often seen black solidarity unless itās for the purpose of showing how diverse the writing is. Let them share interests, daily frustrations that they would only understand, but donāt force a romance.
In solid friendships with other black girls! For some reason, weāre pitted against in each other inside and outside of writing! Write some sweet wholesome friendship!
With different sexualities! Let there be some that are ace, others are gay, bi or pan! Just be sure you donāt sexualize them, or turn em into a robot.
ā¢Who are dark-skinned! This can be seen a lot in tv or movies, but when you want a black girl in your stuff donāt just hire a light-skinned black girl or a biracial black girl. Itās not the same.
Who get to act their age! Black women have a long standing history of being adultified, starting from a very young age, and itās extremely harmful. Little black girls can wear what they please, the problem is people sexualizing them. Let the teen black girl be a teenager, she can look out for her siblings but she isnāt the keepern the house or their lives. Young adult black girls are not ideal housewives or capable working machines, they mess up and mess around just as much as any young adult.
With mental/physical disabilities or illnesses. Alongside with being forced to be more mature than they are, disabilities/illnesses are never taken seriously and weāre forced to just deal with it. Having black girls who happen to have these issues, but also have a healthy support group is always good!
@ink-and-roses
Seen as beautiful and desirable and NOT in a hypersexualized way
Interracial relationships are wonderful because black girls are beautiful and lbr everybody sees it
Sensitive and allowed to feel something other than righteous anger
Some black girls are skinny! Some are big! Some are slim and some are curvy! Thereās no mold!
Dark skinned!
A YA protagonist out to save the world from something other than racism
Superpowers or magic that doesnāt come from generational trauma or slavery
Black characters who support other black characters. None of this token crabs in a barrel business.
Black girl nerds and punks and goths exist. I promise.
And this may be a personal preference but Iām not against the idea of a damsel in distress. We are always being strong. Let her be soft and delicate and cared for. Let her be princess carried and rescued from the tower and the dragon.
[Note from Mod: Itās not just you! I love a Black damsel being saved and protected. What is progressive for one woman varies due to historical and present depictions and is why intersectionality in feminism is so important! -Colette]
@nightlyswordswoman
As a writer, I write a lot of my black female characters like this because I rarely ever see black women being represented in these ways! ESPECIALLY on the covers of books, unless the author themselves is a black woman and even then its rare.Ā
Too often black women are stereotyped as strong protector types that are always rough, tough, and donāt need anybody in books (and real life), when thatās honestly just dumb and inaccurateāblack women are as vulnerable as anyone else (in some cases, even more vulnerable, but thatās another topic).Ā
So yeah, this list is 100% accurate and I encourage those who are interested in writing black female characters (whether youāre a black woman or not) to consider writing them like this, because the stereotype needs to die lol.
But wait, thereās more!
@just-a-swsh-fangirlĀ As an anime fan I kinda want to see a white male protagonist be paired up (romantically) with a black female at the end of the series. It would make my black self happy to see a girl like me in an important role like that.
@tgingwe
Black girls in STEM, pleaaase
Black girls with ADHD, depression, and other mental health conditions!Ā
Black girls with supportive families!Ā
Pan black girls!Ā
African black girls, with cultures that impact their lives and with complex relationships between their specific identities/cultures and the idea of being perceived as just black outside of Africa!Ā
Happy Trans Black girls!
@starcrossedrose

Black girls with healthy relationships with their parents
black girls who are indecisive about their lives and struggling to find their place in the world and the reason not being racism

More black witches/magic users who donāt fall in the magical negro type.
Quirky black girls who have endearing and unusual interests
Black girls who both love sterotypical and non-stereotypical black things
Black girls having supportive friendship groups and not being the one who constantly needs to support the others
Black girls saving the world
Black girls having a love interest who loves them and cherishes them not because they think they are weak but because they want them to be safe and happy
Black girls being the cherished love interest
Black girls being thought of the most gorgeous girl and not being overly sexualized
Black girls and their siblings/friends going to another world a la Chronicles of Narnia
Black girls being the chosen ones and saving the world
Black girls in medieval fantasy stories and not just being a slave or the handmaiden of the white princess
Black girs with different and complex relationships with their womanhood and how they express it
Black girls with different hair textures
But above all else I just want black girls to be able to have the same range in character as their white counterparts. I am tired of never being able to relate to characters that look like me
