ABOUT ME &
THE PROJECT
Myself!
Gist about me:​ To be frank about my own identity, I am a queer, white woman. I am a writer who hopes to contribute to the accessibility of diverse heroes in young adult literature. Some of my inspiration to research this issue was the fact that I didn't have a gay female hero to look up to until I was eighteen. I want to see superhero movies provide responsible, responsibly flawed, authentic heroes to kids in need of inspiration.

I am not an expert. There is a lot of changeability to the points in this blog, and I welcome fresh eyes and new perspectives. Please keep comments respectful so everyone can stay open to learning something new.

Gist about project: This is a project for my undergrad composition course at Colorado State University. A semester's worth of research has provided depth to what I thought about Marvel and diversity, and here is the culmination of that exploration.
