All Comments on 'Why Black Women Love Black Women'

This is not about why black women love black women. Just a stupid little personal essay about one person.

Samuel,

Your stories are refreshing because you really do your homework on places and people, so we really go to wherever you have led us. And the diversity of your casts is really fine. I am penning a story as part of my Church Ladies' Cunning Club series that features a Nigerian/Jamaican woman. Since I was not born with African roots I want to make sure I am honoring and hopefully delighting POC. So I could send it to you for vetting or trashing if that works for you. One fun challenge is writing dialog thay includes a phrase here and there from a person's home base. I'd love to get your take on that. Perhaps you are aware of the #ownstories movement that basically says, "Don't mess with other people's lore if you aren't one of the crowd." You write from lots of POV and bend genders, but I think you try to stay faithful to the heart of each culture you tap. Forge on. LargoKitt
