'Not a monolithic block': Quebec documentary challenges harmful stereotypes around Black women

The hypersexual Jezebel, the doting mammy, the indignant Black lady: in accordance with Montreal filmmaker Ayana O'Shun, these three tropes dominate representations of Black ladies in widespread media -- and negatively have an effect on Black ladies in the actual world. Her new documentary, 'Le Mythe de la Femme Noire' (Fable of the Black Lady), breaks down these stereotypes and their histories and exhibits ladies embracing their very own distinctive identities.
