Hi! I'm reading the summer challenge you posted, and I have a bit of a stupid question that I'm not sure if you've answered before.

How do I go about finding Black creators in fandom? I've found a few streamers and youtubers, but as far as artists and writers on tumblr and ao3, no one seems to put that kind of thing in their bio (also I don't really like discord either if that matters)

I have realized with how many times I've been asked this that I am biased. Some of you truly have the privilege to walk into a space and never have to try to find peers that look like you. Because this feels second nature to me to do atp.

A lot of times, the hardest part is finding One Black creative. Because in my experience, we tend to find, follow, and support each other's voices organically (not as a monolith, but nonetheless). I've literally found Black artists where I'll go into their notes and find more Black artists. You see who they share and you follow and share those same people. Even the ones I don't follow, I know who they are and check in on them every now and then.

Get in the tags and stop being afraid to type 'Black'! #black artist #black artist on Tumblr #black youtuber #black writer #black writer on tumblr #black [fill in the blank], #black creator #black [fill in the blank] on tumblr #black [fandom character of interest] #black edit #fandom character. If I type in #black edit #jujutsu kaisen #gojo (satoru?), for example, I could find an artist who did one, and maybe that artist is Black or had Black followers who appreciated it! Hell, even just liking the Black characters in a piece of media will help you find some Black creators.

You could even get on Google and do the same thing faster, or on twitter (though I don't use Twitter). Black Twitter platforms and is responsible for a good chunk of American online pop culture and jokes (not that we get credit for that!) but typing that in will get you Black creators of all sorts. Even on here, the Black folk who aren't afraid to be Black on main will absolutely type that into their bio. I know this, because I check when I follow people lmao.

If you really wanna get in the trenches, you could find those uncomfortable conversations y'all usually avoid. Learn some perspective AND support some Black bloggers. #fandom racism #fandom antiblackness #antiblackness #[fandom of choice]. I have a post with over 100k reactions on the topic, and amongst the thousands of white folk that missed the point, there are still Black bloggers who contribute their experiences. Every Black creator in a fan space has at least one experience of fandom racism, it comes part and parcel with trying to be here.

TRANSGENDER SUDANESE REFUGEE IN NEED OF SURGERY WITHIN 10 DAYS, 0% OF GOAL REACHED!

our last post died in traction. the leader of this group of LGBT refugees, Muhshin Magala, has been sick with ulcers for weeks now. she needs surgery to remove them, and needs $5000 for it. all we've raised currently (and in the past) has gone towards food and medication, and paying off her current hospital stay.

she NEEDS this surgery to live, and we need help from everyone else for this to even begin to be a possibility.

0/5000$. a reblog could save her life.
