Short Story Review: Your Rover Is Here by LP Kindred

Genre: Speculative Fiction

I listened to this story on LeVar Burton Reads yesterday. I will listen to this story again today. I believe everyone needs to listen to this story. 

Ahmad is a rideshare driver and grad student just trying to get a bonus to make ends meet. He is trying his best to do the “independent adult” thing, because, as we all know, depending on parents can often come with a price. At just two rides away from achieving his goal, Ahmad finds himself in the middle of a magical fight while attempting to thwart an evil plan. He is both astonished and enraged by the situation and its aftermath. 

As I stated earlier, everyone should read or listen to this story. 

Your Rover Is Here was originally published in Issue #14 of FIYAH, a literary magazine that publishes Black speculative fiction. Yes, I purchased Issue #14 after listening to the story. 

LP Kindred’s writing is...I’m not sure the words exist. At first, I thought I only enjoyed it because LeVar Burton does such a wonderful job reading these stories. So, I read it myself and enjoyed it more. I could see, hear, and smell this story taking place. I rode shotgun with Ahmad. This story is powerful. Ahmad’s character is relatable as both a person and as an entire race. To understand that constant struggle to be “good” and do the right thing, only to feel defeated by those you think should have your back. Ahmad’s fight is our fight. 

I expect great things from this author.

#Minoru and Anti-blackness in Asian communities

https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1202069230218305537/Hoq_nNJE_400x400.jpg Ok reason why im starting to use #minoru when talking about Asians who are 1) Discriminatory to black people. 2) use black people as a stepping ground to boost themselves up closer to whiteness. The reason, why I use#minoru,#minoru is because of the comic runaways. in the comic in order for Nico to be the leader and star is that a black person had to be killed off and for her to be with Koralina is that a black non-binary character have to be killed off. Dont help that in the show they made ther interactions with her and alex problematic and making alex an incel. But hey Asian folks celebrate walking over black people.

𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 • 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐧 101 - - 𝐒𝐨𝐧𝐠: 𝐀 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐩 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐌𝐲 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝 •• @tanerelle (I slowed it a little and pitched it down) - - Heya! This is coming to y'all bc of the whole situation from this morning and me being immensely pissed tf off because of the blatant racism and misrepresentation of black people in the art community. I'm gonna make a youtube to post the whole video and maybe others like it. The video is only like 4 minutes lmao but Instagram won't let me post the whole thing. I'll probably make a highlight for it and/or a guide. Ik I'm just a smaller artist, but I think I covered the basics here on coloring dark skin and I think this !ight be helpful enough for anybody. Like I said today, this is mainly focused on darker skin tones, though certain rules apply to lighter black poc skin tones too. If the video was too fast, lmk. I think was pretty satisfying though for being my first tutorial video. I also have the finished pictures on the last 2 slides just in case you wanted to see it longer. I hope this was informative enough for anybody interested and I hope this was helpful. Should I do more tutorials, speed paints, and stuff of the like? • • • #tutorial #jenesisdraws #tutorialsvideos #artistoninstagram #blackartistoninstagram #blackart #blackartist #blackcharacters #blackcharactersmatter #blackcharacterart #blackcharacterlove #blackskin #artistsupport #localartist #locallymade #tutorial #arttutorial #arttutorials✏️🎨 #digitaldrawing #digitalartist #digitalpainting #digitalillustration #painting #digitaldrawings #digitalartwork #blackbusiness #paintingoftheday #youtube #art_4anime #shonenjump #shōnen https://www.instagram.com/p/CNbY-NoltIF/?igshid=zrigx5hq6jcc

I did some #digitaldrawing tonight to get ready to draw pages for my newest set of books titled, #AnotherReasontoSmile! I will be publishing 6 short stories that will be comprised of 8 page short stories that I will write and draw featuring the supporting cast of my @AReasontoSmileBooks. There will be one more additional short story I will write and commission comic veterans to draw each individual page for the collected editions, similar to the hardcovers of volume 1 and 2 of the #AReasontoSmileSeries. This drawing will inspire the first panel of page 1 and these short stories will come as I continue writing my first novel, "A Reason to Smile! Hello New Kid! Stay tuned as more art is on the horizon! . . . #childrensbook #childrensbooks #childrensbookseries #graphicnovel #graphicnovels #graphicnovelseries #comicbook #comics #comicbooks #comicbookseries #comicbookart #childrensbookart #selfpublished #selfpublishing #Kwame #Africancharacters #BlackCharactersMatter #BlackLivesMatter #Ghanaian #PanAfrican #SaturdayBorn #comicart #art #digitalpencils #digitalinks #JavierCruzWinnik https://www.instagram.com/p/B9drI8IBbtT/?igshid=i7zr078o1z9q

If you’re a part of the writing community take a moment to reflect on what you read and write...it might have racist undertones.

When I began reworking my fantasy world I noticed that a black-coded fantasy race were slaves that had been freed by a white colonizer who they were now indebted to. There was a white savior complex right in the middle of my story and I hadn’t noticed it.

Take the time to examine what you write and what you read, if we consume more diverse novels and media we will in turn create more diverse and realistic stories, you shouldn’t have to add black characters there should already be black characters. Sign petitions, support black creators, donate to help the movement and know how powerful your writing can be.

Because many of the books I devoured when I was growing up did not have characters that looked anything like me.

Racism. Police brutality. Prejudice. Fights 3 times a week. Suicidal thoughts. Not feeling like being black was SAFE. These are things I dealt with my freshman and sophomore years of high school... 9 years ago.  Worst part was I kept it all inside, but still NEEDED ways to cope. In comes these characters.  My project, #BlackCharactersMatter is a tribute to all the iconic black characters in anime, video games and comic books that affected not just me, but SO many people in the world. I hope you can feel the happiness these characters brought me, and if you were touched by them as well, go on a feels trip and feel a little happiness yourself.

Don't believe you have a Racial Bias? (See #4 above) Humans are hosts to a ton of cognitive biases that influence the way we think, act, and perceive our world — often without our knowledge or consent. Take a look at these (particularly #s 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 17, 18, and 19). One way or another, these contribute to the creation and fostering of Racial Biases within our society. For each of the highlighted, can you think of an example in which it may effect your perception of other races (particularly, for white Americans, how it may effect your perception of black Americans)?
