I appreciate all the opportunities I've been afforded in this industry. Truly. I'm incredibly grateful. But--and I say this carefully and with all due respect--PLEASE don't just hire me for/during Black History Month.

Representation is important: it's a big part of why I'm here. I love working on Black characters and books, and I figure I'll be doing so for the rest of my career. But there's nothing that limits me from working on ANY title. My skill set works no matter what you throw at me.

And let me stress this: I WANT to work on Black characters. I WANT to contribute to as much positive Black representation as I can. It isn't--and shouldn't be--an either/or proposition to work on either regular titles or so-called "Black books".
