Removing the white gaze

Black Speculative Fiction without the code switch! When I brainstormed for this anthology, one key component was removing the white gaze. Toni Morrison said, "The little white man that sits on your shoulder and checks out everything you do or say. You sort of knock him off and you're free." It was extremely important to me that the stories written for this anthology were free. We are taking back our narrative. 🔗 in bio! #blackliterature #speculativefiction #books

Alex Demie in a black slip dress and Sydney Sweeney in a pink dress pose together, illustrating the article's discussion on their career trajectories.
Sydney is for the male gaze and Alexa is opposite
Alex Demie shined first in Euphoria. But Sydney Sweeney got the push. We hoped Sydney’d grow beyond the male gaze, but Sydney Sweeney situation tells us she's willing to bend to male gaze and to do anything for power and fame. Cool, pure artists get sidelined, fame goes to those chasing power.
