I feel proud and very moved that my work is proving useful at this time, as we work toward combating the beast that is racism. Racism is as real as the wetness of water. Period. But unlike water, we can and must do away with it. It wreaks havoc in our societies and in our minds, bodies and spirits. I wrote Sulwe to help stave off the damage that can be done when we internalize racial prejudice against our own dark complexions. When we exercise preferential treatment of people based on the color of their skin and its proximity to whiteness, that's called colorism. And colorism is just as reprehensible as its mother, racism. Let's do away with both! ¡Punto y aparte! A special shoutout to our luminous illustrator @VashtiHarrison who has FIVE books on the children's bestseller list this week! Everything she has created edifies Black people. Let's keep encouraging our children to radiate from within and continue fighting racism to ensure their lights never get dimmed. #BrightnessIsJustWhoYouAre」6月14日 6時22分
