Whew, not gonna lie every time I see a white YA author with a YA with a brown girl on the cover I cringe a little. Like a full body wince. Just waiting for the inevitable.

I mean, yeah, you can write whatever you want but history has shown us you& #39;re prolly gonna fuck it up and then it& #39;s going to be a whole Twitter thing.

And why aren& #39;t you tired of this yet? We are.

Anyway, everyone who tweeted all excited about Winterkeep I hope you& #39;re following Melanin in YA.

Black people haven& #39;t really even gotten a chance to write their own YA fantasies yet. Give us a fucking chance.

Just because you can doesn& #39;t mean you should.
