What they weren t prepared for was the backlash over a set of emojis with a yellow skin tone, mainly from Asian communities who deemed the new additions racist. The outrage eventually faded, and more social media platforms began introducing their own set of diversified human emojis.

In six months, Parrott put her savings into launching an iPhone app called iDiversicons in 2013. Users can finally use the app the represent their race with five different skin tones available.

Her app, which launched in the Apple app store in October 2013, features emoji with five skin tones. “All of the emojis at the time were Caucasian. I just felt as if everybody should be represented, which is why we came up with the five-skin tone emojis that represent inclusion,” Parrott said. The idea came from her daughter, who was a college student at the time. “She came home one weekend and said, ‘It sure would be nice to be able to send an emoji to my friends that looked like me.’ And my first question was ‘What’s an emoji?’”, Parrott recalled.
