——————————
FORAYS INTO FANTASY explored fantastical worlds that are melanin-rich, and vibrant with strong protagonists, laying out the welcome mat for Black people who love fantasy adventure. It was a way of telling kids that YES, you exist in these worlds too, and not just as side characters, henchmen, or comedy relief. You exist in the center. You are the main-characters. You are the heroes who can save and create your own worlds.
