REPRESENTATION MATTERS.
Why does #representationmatter?
Symbolic annihilation is a term used to describe the absence of representation. It is based on the idea that if you don’t see people like you in the media you consume, you must somehow be unimportant. Every Beautiful Brown Girl deserves to see herself in the clothing that she wears, the books that she reads, the characters and products that she admires - Representation Matters.
