You know how there was a rush for editors looking to diversify their pool of writers over the summer.......... did anyone actually get an email back lol
This is a genuine question, I was looking for something in my Sent folder and instead just found a dozen introductions that started with "Hey! Thanks for the call out for more writers of colour" and not a single reply lmao
Honestly hope that I just wasn't good enough and that the gigs actually did go to someone else, otherwise would have just preferred the Instagram slideshow approach to racial equity tbh xx
That said there are no structural issues that will be solved by commissioning me or any other person from a marginalised background, fwiw, as long as the structures in place require us to break them down from outside the gates imo
