about.the.film
black.womyn.:conversations...
black./womyn.:conversations… is a feature-length documentary focusing on the lives and views of lesbians of African descent living in the United States. The documentary is structured by interviews—“conversations”—the director had with each of the women. It features candid interviews with black lesbian women discussing coming out, sexuality and religion, love and relationships, marriage, patriarchy, visibility in media, discrimination and homophobia, activism, gender identity, Black lesbian youth and elders, balancing gender/race/sexuality, and, finally, what it means to call oneself a Black lesbian today. black./womyn.:conversations… is a piece that provokes honest, progressive dialogue and critical thinking among people in general—and Black lesbians in particular—about how Black lesbians are viewed and affected by society. black./womyn.:conversations… features interviews with close to 50 out, Black lesbians including Poet/Author Cheryl Clarke, Filmmaker/Activist Aishah Shahidah Simmons, Poet/Author Staceyann Chin, Filmmaker Michelle Parkerson, Artist Hanifah Walidah, Hip-Hop Duo KIN, and Author Fiona Zedde.
though the subject is broad I am attempting to present a well rounded view of the black lesbian experience as it relates to living in this world, nation, city, home, etc...as an out black lesbian myself it was important that I present an image for others to see that we are all not the same..and we walk this life in many ways other than being confined in our sexuality..we are artist, mothers, students, sisters, friends, lovers, as well as many other things..this is my first personal feature length project and out of everything that I have done it is by far the most important of any project that I have ever done...and more importantly i feel that the "film/tv/art world" must be "flooded" by several images of who we are as black lesbian women!!!
thanx

Who I'd like to meet: filmmakers, artist of all kinds, nerds, folks who like to talk cause i like to listen...

Btw I also would like to say it is truly beautiful what your doing with film producing and much more on Black Lesbians and I was so mad I wasn't able to come and see the full film when you were here in Milwaukee a couple of weeks ago, I was sick...hopefully in the future I can attend one of your screenings.
The clips are powerful. But since I have not seen when you might be coming out to the West Coast, when will the video be available for purchase? Than you.
