It’s the second week in February and thus the second week of Black History Month. Thus I thought I’d do a piece on the first black woman superhero, Ororo Munroe!

So today marks the beginning of the second Black History Month in Alberta. To honour that, I thought I’d do a piece on DC’s first black superhero:

Good afternoon!
So, this weeks update is going to be light, as I’m now in the middle of outlining and plotting, so there isn’t really a whole lot to, you know, update you on. It’s mostly just slog work at the moment.

This is by no means an exhaustive list of the flaws and strengths of Black History Month, but it hopefully gives you an idea of why BHM is not the end of our celebration and study of black history, but a platform from which we must expand aggressively.
