There are plenty of pop-cultural narratives about young women seeking fame and fortune in the media and publishing industries, but few that feature Black, openly queer protagonists working overtime to succeed within systems that weren’t designed with their needs or experiences in mind. Into that void comes Tembe Denton-Hurst’s Mickey, who starts her arc in the novelas a gainfully employed “media girl.
Someone actually asked me a question yesterday about how I did research for the book; they were like, “You and Mickey share all these characteristics, so how did you craft the character?” I’ve been in these rooms for so long and I know this world so intimately that my experience is the research, in some ways. And I wanted to talk about it because we still have still so much gatekeeping and standard-bearing that occurs in media.
