I'm writing a YA fiction story, and my main character is a black girl. I'm not convinced I she should be though. After reading some blogs on the matter, the overall advice seems to be to steer away from writing a first person PoC when you're not one yourself. I'm concerned I may unknowingly cause some kind of harm or damage should I release it as is when, as a white person, I haven't lived the same everyday experience as my character would have.
If anyone has some advice on whether she should remain as she is or not, or helpful tips on how to sensitively and accurately portray her would be a huge huge help
