Representation

I shouldn’t be publishing this post online since sharing your beliefs online can be a kind of turnoff these days, however, I wasn’t sure if anyone else had shared what I’m about to tell you. And so naturally I published it on Yoo.rs. I believe Yoo.rs is the perfect site for this kind of post.

Representation matters.

But, I also believe that nobody can represent YOU but YOU.

What do I mean by that?

What I’m trying to say is that we need to stop relying on Hollywood (and mainstream media) to try and to fail miserably at representing us. They will never get it right. They will always try to put us in boxes. Or even if they don’t, it won’t be the same. Because it would have come out of different people instead of us. And people cannot read minds. Even with the longest research, it still won’t be the same. It won’t be as if it came straight out of your mouth - authentic. It won’t be YOU.
