Have you ever heard of Cheryl Dunye's The Watermelon Woman (1996)? Do you even know who she is? In her film, Cheryl Dunye critiques how whiteness erases black queer women in history and narrative but now lives her critique. Let's talk about it!

Hello! My name is Dorian. My broad topic I want to study is how the combination blackness and Queerness has impacted film making and representation. I will find black queer films and study its impact and focus on its attempt on representation. I will narrow this down.
