Birds on a Wire

Sensitivity reading assesses authenticity and representation within your manuscript concerning potentially problematic content, stereotypes, prejudice, bias, and more.

​

​It is not an effort to permit or facilitate censorship. All authors have the freedom to write diverse stories and characters. My goal is to promote and strengthen accurate representation by assisting those who feel uncertain about a topic they are inexperienced in, or how they've written a particular character or depicted a scene.

​

I have experience with: 

Black Characters

• Black American Culture

• Jamaican Culture (Second Generation Jamaican American with Jamaican-born parents)

• Racism, Microaggressions, and Racial Profiling

• AAVE and Jamaican Patois

LGBTQ+ Characters

• Bisexuality

• Demiromantic and demisexual attraction

• Romantic and sexual attraction to multiple genders

Neurodivergent Characters

• Executive Dysfunction

• Burnout and Mood Instability

• Overstimulation and Sensory Issues

Mental Health Issues (In addition to my lived experience, I have a B.S. in Psychology)

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Self-harm​ and Suicidal Ideation

• Eating Disorders (EDNOS, Binge Eating, Restriction & Food Obsession)
