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!!!

I wrote a good omelet … and ate a hot poem … after loving you
Buttoned my car … and drove my coat home … in the rain … after loving you
I goed on red … and stopped on green … floating somewhere in between … being here and being there … after loving you
I rolled my bed … turned down my hair … slightly confused but … I don’t care … Laid out my teeth … and gargled my gown … then I stood … and laid me down … To sleep … after loving you
(Nikki Giovanni)
Have a wonderful Sunday & a Productive week! “The DuchessPoet”
