It also reminded me of "Sick Woman Theory," a piece by Johanna Hedva that I have been telling everyone about: http://www.maskmagazine.com/not-again/struggle/si...
"The most anti-capitalist protest is to care for another and to care for yourself. To take on the historically feminized and therefore invisible practice of nursing, nurturing, caring. To take seriously each other’s vulnerability and fragility and precarity, and to support it, honor it, empower it. To protect each other, to enact and practice community. A radical kinship, an interdependent sociality, a politics of care."

I posted about this in a reply to someone below in this same thread, but if you're into writing, we have a Toastie writing group! It's on slack, we post prompts and do critiques of each other's work. It's been really helpful for me in terms of motivation, improving my skills, and feeling like it's ok to take my writing seriously.

For PoC lead characters - check out N.K. Jemisin's books. She is herself a woman of color and her books are amazing and full of richly imagined worlds of diverse characters. The Fifth Season is incredible. It's the first of a series. I've also read the Inheritance Trilogy and generally liked it, though I thought the first book was definitely the best.
