“In line with a larger recognition of black women’s multidimensionality in American culture and politics, never once do their male partners make them feel bad for dreaming big.”
never once do their male partners make them feel bad for dreaming big: their ambition is their appeal.written and directed by Stella Meghie, involves a pair of love stories told across two generations. In the contemporary one, a New York museum curator named Mae meets Michael , a journalist who is writing a profile of Christina, a photographer and Mae’s late mother. In 2020, Mae’s flourishing career is a given.
Directed by Rashaad Ernesto Green, who co-wrote it with his star, Zora Howard, the film is the result of what the two saw as a lack of black love stories today, especially those that center on the experiences of young black women. Fortunately, this trend is not just limited to the big screen. Each episode of Ava DuVernay’s latest series,, follows a single day of a young couple’s romance over five years. Revolving around the relationship between Evan , a Stanford-educated, Tesla-driving tech engineer, and Gently , a bohemian, globe-trotting caregiver from South Los Angeles, it appears at first to be a story about opposites attracting.
Evan “fits into what we usually see in our iterations of black love,” Roquemore said. “He’s fiscally successful and highly educated — those stories in which black people have to be perfect.”
