I heard she is the truth,and im not into the sci fi genre.I'm surpised no movie adaptations based on her books

 

[Black Bolt]

Her books would be so piff on the big screen , problem is all her protagonists are black and female. You know Hollywood ain't trying to have a black female lead in a Sci Fi

On the cover Dawn, you see the main lead pictured as a white woman who should be black. She's very overt & clear about her leads being black within the text, her publishers did her dirty on that . The inevitable whitewashing Hollywood would do to one of her books would be get me too heated.
