This is a nice suggestion, but be fair: not everyone is equipped to create, and not everyone wants to. Telling people that if they want to see diverse media they need to make it themselves is well meant, but it's a little... well... unintentionally callous, IMO. And I say this as a writer who IS creating fiction with an eye to "telling the story of my people".

Let me put it another way. Perhaps you are aware that many clothing retailers in the U.S. don't carry much in the way of plus size clothing, or if they do, it's not very well made and the styles are terrible. Despite the fact that there is a significant demand for size 14+ clothes that aren't ugly circus tent dresses, that change has not really happened. But you surely wouldn't tell every plus size woman out there they need to get a sewing machine and learn to make their own dresses rather than urging manufacturers to recognize their worth as consumers, would you?

14+? Those are easy to come by. Try 20+, and even then the problem isn't "ugly circus tent dresses" but rather "overly mod Lane Bryant style".

I think we need to do both, really, no matter what size we are. We should all know how to make our own clothes, and we should all communicate with companies for better retail.
