@@sylmen1111 I get what you're saying, Hun. But I'm talking about movies that are created and produced by ONLY fully black women. This way we can uphold a higher image of ourselves and put out movies that not only inspire, but elevate black women. We don't need men in dresses to imitate an overly dramatic stereotype of bw, or have voiceovers of black women or children done by white voice over artists.... We don't have to adhere to any of society's rules of cinema if these projects are fully funded by bw. It's time to change the narrative and take ownership of our image back. We are talented, beautiful, creative and magical.... We should be showing these lovely parts of us on a consistent basis. Even to the point that we maybe stop acting and writing for these other studios (white/black men), and focus on just ours.
