i’m very excited that Oprah will be airing the documentary Dark Girls on OWN this Sunday 10pm EST. i haven’t seen it yet but i’m sure it will be powerful.
i feel that it’s more than time that diverse topics about girls are brought to light in the media. it’s been time for us to start talking, so we can do something about it.
which is why i’m also really happy to see a new film in the making about another experience that is often not talked about; being an ‘only’.
Black Girl In Surburbia is going to be a film about black girls who live in the suburbs. i know what that feels like.
when i was really young (elementary school age), i was the only black girl in my school and it was hard. being different is a tough thing for most youth and being singled out because of your race is no different.
kudos to the Dark Girls documentary and salute to new film maker, Melissa Lowery…
check out the trailer for Black Girl In Suburbia:
Black Girl In Suburbia is a feature documentary that looks into the experiences of black girls growing up in predominately white communities.
