Made in the Winter of 2016/2017, back when I had dreadlocks and was a kangaroo-sona. I was a bit fed up with the lack of awareness on why diversity in creative media is important and decided to make an info comic to not only explaining why but also how I utlize it in my creative works through the furry fandom.
A lot has changed since 2016/2017, different medias have become much more aware of the issue and has taken steps to remedy it (not always for the better - but it's a start), and this was pre-Get Out and Black Panther.
What a lot of people forget about me - in all my furryness - is I do work for the black community in my area; typically teaching the youth or providing resources to those who wouldn't otherwise have access to resources so they can pursue their goals, (if not outright signing them up for college). I'm no super charity philanthropist or anything like that, I just help when I can with groups and events using the skills and knowledge I developed over the years to uplift and encourage.
One of the most frustrating things about the "black experience" in America is how misconceptualized it is to others due to echos of systematic racism and media consumption. There's videos on the subject that explain it better than I can in an artist comment blog:

What I aimed to do with this comic is educate in a comedic way while also providing a bit of my artist statement and ethics during the process.
I hope you all enjoy.
