Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I take a journey back to the 70s, 80s, 90s, and early 2000s to take a look at children's cartoons to explore diversity and representation, or the lack of. I'm not on this journey alone. I'm joined by TJ Johnson and Sharon King. We had a great time traveling down memory lane and peeling back the layers to some of our favorite cartoons. How well did each era cover diversity and representation? Tune in at 7 PM EST to find out! Maybe we see some Vitiligo representation in children's programming. In the meantime, check out the Black Sands web toon on YouTube for some Vitiligo representation.
