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

Angel L. Brown talks about the importance of visiblity...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.

Thats true. So many black professional women are closeted. This allows us to remain INVISIBLE. Its hard to come out, dont get me wrong - cause i still got one foot in the closet. But it would be easier for me to do so if there were Black Lesbian/Bisexuals with some visibility.

Well said. You have a beautiful hue.

I'll remain in the closet for as long as I choose to cos there ain't nobody tough enough out there to back me up when the shit hits the fan!! Most of my family are Muslims, and I know loads of religious people, some of whom are my friends and I know for a fact that if my sexuality was revealed, there would be nowhere to turn for safety and I'm not just talking about violence either!! And yes I am a beautiful black woman!!

I am glad that Angel is saying what needs to be said. One thing that I can say about her is that she not only says what she feels, she has the gall to put it on film so that all can see. I respect that.

Stay BAASSIK,
