How often do you acknowledge and celebrate the people you love?
This is one of the countless questions that came to mind as I was on the flight to New York City because of how much I’ve assumed…

I love celebrating the handful of people I consider family by choice; however I often assume they are constantly told and aware of how dope they are from sheer self-awareness and the confidants they have cultivated across time. It took me a while to realize that just because someone is great at something, it doesn’t mean they know it or are acknowledged for the gifts they bestow upon the world daily. In this day and age where life continues to remind us how fragile life can be, a part of self-care is celebrating the people who have redefined the way we love.

I love you my dear sister, .

Who will each of you give flowers to today?

Love,
Li

Why does diversity in fantasy matter? It matters for every one of us as a kid who was obsessed with Storm, thought Bebe’s Kids were superheroes, and embraced sci-fi as a whole as a safe haven against the ambiguity of real-life instabilities. It matters for the children who see us in all of our wonder and wave because they see a rare representation that resonates with their originality. It matters because community continues to uplift Black voices in a country where equity is only equitable during times of crisis. It simply matters.

Love,
Lisa Marie 🧚🏽‍♀️
