Have you ever have difficulty describing the race of your characters when writing your novel?
My daughter, Nickay , has written a series on her blog – The Pink Ravyn Writes – on how to professionally address race and ethnic diversity in your literary work. The Issue of race Part One (Introduction)
Nickay states that your writing should not be “color blind,” but writers must know how to skillfully describe their characters so that the readers will automatically know their race without having to use generic terms such as “Black” “White” “African-American” or “Latino”
Nickay series will give you a clear definition of race and a guide to describe skin color in your novel.

Beverley has been serving the Lord since she was a child. At an early age, she recognized that God had a special plan for her life, but it was not until in her adulthood that she surrendered her total life to God and accepted the mandate that God placed on her life. The Lord called her into His Kingdom to be an encourager, intercessor, teacher, scribe, priest, and to proclaim the Word of God.
Since then, Beverly has established a blog to teach us to become the oil and wine. The oil and wine are purified and mature products, which is the advanced level that the Lord expected of us.
In 2017, Beverley published her first book, Harm Not The Oil And Wine. In it, she described her trials and how God helped her to overcome them, and to live more victoriously. The book also exposed the enemy of our souls with detailed information about his past defeats and future extinction.
Wright spents most of her time studying the Bible to know the truth of God’s Word. She believes that only God’s truth can expose the deception of the enemy, and uproot and tear down spiritual strongholds.
You can learn more about Beverley’s life and testimony on her website becomingtheoilandwine.com.
You can also find her on Facebook and Google+ under the name of her blog, and on Twitter as @Theoilandwine.

We can embrace others but do not need to ignore we have some differences. In the church, Christ has broken down to dividing wall. In the church we can acknowledge differences in race and culture yet embrace each other and learn from each other.

That is so true. When I listened to the debate last night all you can hear is black and white. Why cant we just say people or person regardless of the color of the skin?
