the response that gets me is “well i don’t read.” okay. not everybody enjoys reading. but your thought process doesn’t have to stop there! let’s think laterally and apply this question to a form of media you to enjoy and engage with regularly. can you name a black woman who is a…
tv/movie creative?
podcaster?
youtuber?
music artist?
stage actress?
visual artist?
dancer?
there are many many subcategories within each of these, including specialities, genres, and professions, and i promise you there is a black woman doing amazing stuff in every one. maybe even several!
these broad categories, especially tv/movies and music, will have their own big five. if you can name them, try going deeper by naming one in a specific genre you enjoy. how about a genre that a friend of yours enjoys? a genre you want to engage with more than you currently are? talking to people In Real Life and having goals or plans for the media you want to enjoy are also (alongside google) useful tools for combatting passive/unconscious bias.
this is literally such a quality critical thinking skills addition to the original post
When I think of you, I want to be alone together. I want to strive against and for. I want to live in contact. I want to be a context for you, and you for me.
