We want the growing Hello Sunshine community of creators and audience members to feel seen and heard. Whether our audience identifies with a character from our book pick or with the heroine (or villain) from our TV shows, or strikes up a conversation sparked by our videos, Hello Sunshine’s mission is to show women as the flawed and often complicated heroes of their own stories.

    You lost me with the "on the state of being black in America" comment. We are all Americans. Nothing more nothing less. We all have the exact same opportunities. Equality of result isn't equality. It isn't freedom. It isn't liberty. If you want more it off life one must give now regardless of color. For a people whom claim to not want to live in the 1860's we sure won't let them go.

      @@uareluv you could try to explain why instead of just whaaaa. Just a thought. Honestly are we not all equal? Do we all not have access to kindergarten, first, second third, etc etc .. are all whom do well academically k-12 given free scholarships and grants to University? Are we all not subject to the same interest rates, prices, etc. Are we all not subject to the same laws? I submit all the above is true. Where in America are laws different for whites? Where do whites sneak into our homes at night and tell or children they are less than because of the color of their skin? Where in America do white people tell us to not enunciate properly, exchange text books for basketballs, drop or of school, sell drugs, etc? Oh wait, no that's us when cancels, calls or children sell outs & Uncle Tom's. Not whites. Whites kick their nonconformist to the curb. They don't celebrate them. They are them to wallow in the sludge they themselves created through their own choices. They don't Gail them heros and burn down their own communities because of them. I'm confused as to what was meant by, the state of being black in America. Can you help clarify, or is blah that's dumb all you've got?

      @@Dawn24Michele simply said, no, we are not all equal. We never have been, but we should strive to be. Our race, as many other facets of our identity, shape our experiences, especially as individuals living in America. White people don't have to "sneak into our homes at night" to tell our children they are less than because of the color of their screen... we see that when black Americans are disproportionately affected and killed as a result of police brutality all because of their skin color. That said, yes, we are all Americans... but we are different. We have different backgrounds, different beliefs, different values and struggles. Our experience is not universal.

      Yara is the president of the woke fascist.successful black Americans telling other black Americans they are oppressed. Meanwhile Asians and Indians with little political representation are doing better economically than whites in America but the democrats need their black vote so here comes the victimization. Instead of listening to a true intellectual like Thomas Sowell they so listen to this woman who talks jibberish with big words

      Indigo Wildflowers if I don’t agree with her that makes me jealous? You don’t counter any points I made just that I’m jealous? People have seriously gotten intellectually lazy and stupid.
