shegos:@creatorsofcolornet & @mcutv MARVEL POC CELEBRATION MONTH ★ Week 2: Favorite POC Lead Story/@creatorsofcolornet Event 6: Heroes of ColorIt’s no secret to any of us that it’s not often we get to see Black people in the superhero aspects, but particularly Black women. I would say there’s been a disproportionate amount of men to women, and that’s in everything in life, if we’re honest. So being a Black female superhero is really exciting for me because, especially in this context, being in a show where you’re in people’s homes, I get the opportunity for people to see this Black woman and to empathize with her, to get to know her. They begin to engage with her humanity. And I think that’s so important, and it’s important for young kids of color to see people that look like them — young Black girls, young Black boys and just everyone — to be able to have that opportunity to see people that look like them, or not, and to get to know who they are, engage with them. That’s really an honor. – TEYONAH PARRIS on portraying MONICA RAMBEAU -- source link
