Edit: I know there are already black gods and goddesses in mythology native to Africa. And I’d love to explore those characters and their personalities. Like many bookworms, I loved Greek mythology when i was younger and I thought it’d be cool to cast them with black people in the roles to celebrate blackness. Plus, greek mythology has been interpreted and reinterpreted in so many many ways. And let’s face it: they’re gods. They can look however they want and baby: black is beautiful 🤷🏾♀️
