"black./womyn.:conversations..." nicola on..

Nicola talks about the disconnect between younger and older black lesbians..part of a new documentary on lesbians of African descent...coming soon!.

"black./womyn.:conversations..." will be a feature length docu-film that will concern lesbians of African descent living in the U.S. It will include over 50 interviews with black lesbians of all ages /classes /nationalities/locations discussing a variety of topics including coming out, sexuality and religion, love and relationships, patriarchy, visibility in media, among others as well as a series of short vignettes representing the topics discussed. I'm hoping to provide a film that can encourage progressive dialogue between people on dealing with the image of the black lesbian and the stereotype that come with who black lesbians are portrayed to be. I hope to encourage conversation between black lesbians dealing with class and age, and the lack of communication between these groups and how that affects the overall unity between black lesbians as a group in society.

'you try to tell them young girls about STDs and they look at you and cuss you out' -

And that is a shame onto itself. Our community (black gay community) should wake up. Diseases are real and they don't care about who you are; if someone has an illness and you're having unprotected sex with the individual, then you risk the high chances of contracting that illness.

In some countries you still have to be 100% sure you're gay when you come out or else your gonna regret it for the rest of your life. There's no room for error.

You're very attractive btw ; )

So true! Thanks for putting that out there.  I don't know why there is such a disconnect between the generations, I just wish it weren't so.

well there isnt much disconnect in my society. I'm Jamaican & u stand 2 get DISOWNED or totally RIDICULED or HURT in alot of instances if u r known to be gay.. The struggle with gaining a voice as a lesbian in the caribbean is a very REAL issue!

basically, you're saying that there is a lag in the intergenerational bonds. i agree. i believe the younger folk (post 1980) who do have that sign of respect for their elders, their community, and their bodies were lucky to connect with someone who cared enough to reach through the thick plates around their hearts and were blessed because they listened.

to carrying the torch,

thanks for speaking sincerely
