This book will bring forth a lot of tensions and issues we have had throughout history as a country and people. Stereotypes will be confronted and examined in a reflective and creative way. My hope through this book is to get down to the common humanity each of us have within each other, look at what safe actions we could take for everyone's well-being, and have a lens that is reflective of the very diverse citizens that occupy this nation. Regardless of political affiliation, our very safety should be prioritized over who we are voting for or not for an election.In addition, I do not condone violence. My books are for entertainment purposes. I hope that we all can use art as a tool of expression to demonstrate peace. This book is not real. The images are printed with ink, and you will still be alive after reading this piece of literary work. I just want to make sure that is known.
Also, as an author, artist, creative, and entrepreneur of color, I am intentional of representation. Many popular superheroes of Caucasian descent already exist and have been dominant for a long period of time. In the world I live in there are a plethora of races represented and with those that read comics and there is a huge lack of representation.
Marvel, DC, and Image have plenty to choose from that are popular. As such, it should be ok that I bring forth characters of color who are leaders, noble, and have high level powers and capabilities as well. We need a balance, and you already see men and women of color as gangsters, pimps, seductive/exotic women, drug dealers or those who are against the law. It's time to switch it up because that is not reflective of the majority, law abiding American citizens of color we are around every day.
My characters in GHOATS and beyond have various sexual orientations, religious and spiritual beliefs, genders, neurotypes, special needs, and ethnic origins. All these categories and components each reflect the America we occupy today. Each of us matter and deserve to see representation in all facets and not just limited to stereotypes and imaging that does not celebrate who we are. The revolution won't be televised, It's in a comic book!
