#TenochhHuerta made me tear up talking about the importance of #represention for kids like he was, who only ever saw #white (even #blonde!) actors growing up (in #Mexico).

"...that's what I hope for. That...children don't feel so alone – and that they know that there was never anything wrong with them. What was wrong were the eyes that were seeing them."

Watching the #Mexico: #ConLaBrisa episode of #VoicesRising: #TheMusicOfWakandaForever on #DisneyPlus, and #RyanCoogler confirmed my sentiment regarding #YouTubers who slammed #WakandaForever for not featuring men.

Ryan states, "...[#BlackPanther] was...from a male perspective...and [Wakanda Forever] shifted that when T'Challa passed away. We made the decision that it'll be Shuri's story. Then...it became clear this was...a movie about moms, flat out".

BP focused on men; WF focused on women.
