“Why Is April O’Neil Black?” | An Exploration of Black Characters in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
This is something I’ve wanted to dive into for a while since diversity and representation is something that very important to me. However, as someone who isn’t black, it’s very important that I am properly advocating for the black fans of this community. Because of this, please chime in with your perspectives as they are incredibly important. Thank you :) Check out Johnson (@johnsonislovely) here: / johnsonislovely Follow me on other platforms!
