I glance up at my best friend, Shameka, expression droll. She’s a slim, pretty, older woman in her late forties. Brown skinned with naturally curly hair she always has a pencil stuck through.
Thank you for describing your POC character like you would have any other character! I’ve would’ve flipped a metaphorical table if Shameka was simply described as “older Black woman.”
