I advocate for respectful treatment of melanin individuals with brown complexions in America. I petition to be recognized as Melanin American rather than a continent American. I was told I need 100,000 signatures for Melanin Americans to even matter. Please sign and share. Thank you lovebug

I honestly had not expected this much energy to bubble up so quickly and it really makes me think about how many of us are craving this kind of shift in language. My head is spinning a bit because I just wanted to be seen for who I am but now this feels like it has a life of its own which is just wild.
