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

Gwen talks about her profession in a male dominated field..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.

I find these documentaries on black lesbians really interesting. As a white British woman I feel I have very different experiences but at the same time I have some very similar experiences.

Alot of women in port nwk or port elizabeth now

Say it loud! I'm strong, I am proud, I am a leader, and I am an African American woman. Which should be awarded & acknowledged first...before anything else. That is what qualifies as ignorance, coming from people who try to see only what suits them, within us as women. Our achievements alone deserve decency & respect...the rest shouldn't matter. TWO THUMBS UP!
