"I wish I’d seen Black girls being quirky and going on adventures… I wish I’d seen us saving the world and being respected while doing it. I wish I’d seen Black girls on the covers and as more than sassy sidekicks or tragedies. I wish I’d seen us as Chosen Ones. I poured everything I loved about the stories of my youth into this, but I made us front and center."
