Happy birthday to my favorite character of all time, Dinah Laurel Lance! Aka the Black Canary!

Dinah means so much to me and has inspired me in so many ways, and I’m gonna get emotional and make a little thread about why I love her so much https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🖤" title="Black heart" aria-label="Emoji: Black heart">
Dinah is an incredible character. She’s tough, badass, and doesn’t take any shit. But she’s also nurturing, kind, and loving. She’s flawed and she may get knocked down from time to time, but she ALWAYS gets back up and she never stops fighting
Dinah inspires me every day. As silly as it may sound, when I get nervous about speaking up for myself or something like that, I think about what Dinah would do in that situation. And it encourages me to do the things that I want to do, but would otherwise be too anxious to do
Through my love for Dinah, I got more involved with comics. Eventually I wanted to talk about Dinah and comics so much that I made this account. And I’ve met some really amazing people that I am lucky enough to call my friends https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🖤" title="Black heart" aria-label="Emoji: Black heart">
So basically, I wouldn’t be where I am today without Dinah.

Thank you to all the wonderful writers and artists that made me love her: @GailSimone, @Edbenes_, @TomTaylorMade, @Bruno_Redondo_F, @Benjamin_Percy, @OttoSchmidt72 and so many others https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đź–¤" title="Black heart" aria-label="Emoji: Black heart">
And thank you to the amazing actresses that have brought Dinah to life, through both animation and live action: @missmorenab, @vanmarshall, @GreyDeLisle, @AlainaHuffman, @MzKatieCassidy, @jurneesmollett https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đź–¤" title="Black heart" aria-label="Emoji: Black heart">
