So excited to learn from you! 00:13:24 Martha Artyomenko: Thank you for teaching this class. I came to the conference for your class especially. 00:13:37 sharonhcarpenter: God is much more creative than to just stick with one color! 00:13:53 Georgia: Hi, I’m looking forward to this session! I fear unintentional stereotyping 00:13:55 Gregg Bridgeman: #KCWC2020 #WriteTheVision #ToniShiloh 00:14:09 nmusch: Toni, I so appreciate all you do to promote other authors online. You bless us! 00:14:24 sharonhcarpenter: Thank you for teaching this class 00:16:40 christiekern: Excellent point 00:16:48 Amanda Wen: LOL, Toni, I'm also a pantser. :) 00:18:40 Regina Walker: Pantser here! 00:19:49 Liz Pope: Great point about creating a caricature. It IS very offensive. People of color are not monolithic :). 00:21:57 Carol Graft: So looking forward to watching this. Multi tasking getting ready for work. 00:22:20 Carol Graft: love this graphic /image for skin tone descriptions. 00:22:29 Carol Graft: Very helpful. 00:22:57 sharonhcarpenter: It seems like so many of the skin tone terms are overdone…but so beautiful. Mahogany to be specific 00:24:54 Voni Harris: What are some tribal features to avoid? 00:26:08 Amanda Wen: I was gonna say; my Chinese mother-in-law has lots of freckles, as do my half-Chinese kiddos. 00:26:45 Naomi Craig: I like your logo, Toni! Pretty 00:35:19 Cindy Sawyer: I'm loving this information, Toni! 00:35:36 sharonhcarpenter: My reader is modern, not historical! And historically accurate doesn’t mean God honoring 00:35:47 Lila Diller: like white people are not all the same 00:36:03 Jaycee Weaver: Sharon, YES!! Honoring others honors God and should be our priority. 00:38:30 Jaycee Weaver: Toni, you are amazing and such a huge help and blessing. This is great information. 00:39:45 Liz Pope: Exactly, Lila! :) 00:41:19 Becca the Short Weidel: Oh, I've read several of those! Soo good! 00:41:41 Martha Artyomenko: I have read almost all of those. They are so good. 00:41:54 Debra Marvin: are we not all muted? I keep hearing chatter or music? 00:42:06 Heather: Will the slides be available after the presentation? 00:42:08 Becca the Short Weidel: me too but I think they just got muted 00:42:24 Becca the Short Weidel: maybe not lol 00:43:04 Barbara Fox: So happy that you taught this class. So needed. 00:43:47 Debra Marvin: my question is, how can sensitivity readers be thanked (compensated?) 00:43:53 sharonhcarpenter: Thank you for making the slides available. 00:44:00 Julie Cox: Thank you so much for this presentation. This was so very needed. 00:44:10 Jeanette Cameron: I have mixed heritage and have always hated reading about “mixed breeds” as if we are animals. 00:44:15 Stacy Simmons: Thank you, Toni, this was wonderful!! 00:44:17 PeggThomas: What's your best advice for those of us who write early American historical? Terminology is easy, but some of the history doesn't match our politically correct modern version. How would you deal with that? 00:44:27 RJ Thesman: Very helpful - thank you! 00:44:35 Voni Harris: SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good! 00:44:36 JP Robinson: Thanks Toni. 00:44:38 Barbara Britton: This has been so informative. Thanks for teaching us, Toni. 00:44:44 Gerri Bauer: I’ve found it hard to find primary source material (diaries, letters) when researching late 19th century Florida. What’s your opinion about using books such as those by Zora Neale Hurston to help gain a fuller perspective? She wrote in early 20th century but she wrote about the region I write about. 00:44:45 Georgia: Thank you so much, Toni. 00:45:01 LORI: Great teaching Toni! Thank you. 00:45:02 Becca the Short Weidel: Thanks so much for sharing with us Toni! You did a great job!!! :) 00:45:02 Gerri Bauer: Correction: Hard to find primary source material from diverse sources 00:45:07 Laurel Blount: Such wonderful information!! Thank you, Toni!! 00:45:19 sharonhcarpenter: I have taught in and around Memphis for years. I want to write for the kids that I taught. 00:45:19 Regina Walker: Thank you Toni! 00:45:50 Kim March: Thank you so much! 00:46:02 Liz Pope: How can one apply to be a sensitivity reader? 00:46:51 Lester Bauman: Where I see some of these things surface is in Amish fiction. In fact I've about stopped reading it because of this. 00:47:00 Heather: Thank you for the message to get rid of the fear. I'm prepping for a novel with a Mexican-American heroine, and I have to say, I've felt the fear because I want so much to get it right and keep it real. I don't want to accidentally hurt anyone through something I've written. 00:47:23 Martha Artyomenko: I agree, Lester. 00:47:25 Gregg Bridgeman: #KCWC2020 #WriteTheVision #ToniShiloh 00:47:52 RJ Thesman: What about dialogue such as the Chinese students I work with clip their sentences and don't use articles. But is this offensive? 00:48:07 Martha Artyomenko: As someone that grew up Anabaptist, I have stopped reading them mostly because they are quite offensive. 00:48:29 Susan M'Chelle Brannock: Thank you! 00:48:39 sharonhcarpenter: Thank you, Toni! 00:49:20 RondaWells: great presentation, thanks Toni!!! 00:49:28 Gregg Bridgeman: #KCWC2020 #WriteTheVision #ToniShiloh 00:49:31 Lesa: How would I contact you to do a sensitivity reading? 00:49:34 Jessica White: Thank you Toni 00:49:36 Gerri Bauer: Thank you! 00:49:41 ruthebaize: There has been a rewriting of history since the 1920’s. I use primary sources through the Library of Congress, and I read many books written before the twenties. 00:49:42 Glynis: Thanks! 00:49:44 Amanda Wen: Thanks so much, Toni!! 00:49:45 Lila Diller: thank you so much!!! 00:49:48 Debra Marvin: excellent !!! WONDERFUL!! 00:49:48 Toni: my email is tonishiloh at gmail 00:49:50 Liz Bradford: Thank you@ 00:49:51 Katy Lee: Thank you so much 00:49:52 DonnaS: Toni, it's been great! 00:49:53 Barbara Fox: Yay!
