Hi! I'm Nana Malone, creator of the #BrownNippleChallenge!
The challenge came out of my desire to empower women of color in the genre of romance.
When I started reading romance (way earlier than I should have), I’d get to all the good parts and all the nipples were, rosy, pale pink, dusky (whatever the heck color that is).
Basically communicating to me that the women in these books didn’t look like me. Giving me the subliminal messages that women who looked like me weren’t deserving of having their stories told.
When I started writing, it became my mission statement to feature women of color in my books-brown women like me with brown nipples. Lol. Click here to read more
