Cheryl wasn't just trying to create a film. She was creating liberation. This is why it is important to learn these histories, as it allows us to see new perspectives that we have blind spots for; we become stronger speakers in any field we are pursuing. 😁

It was not a commercial success and was erased by whiteness, but it still made a cultural impact among black and queer people. It continues to be 'discovered' in the media, but as Cheryl said in a 2023 slash film interview: "Boo, I never left."

Fae Richards is a fictional character, but Cheryl highlights the power of imagination to regain control of the narrative and history of black queer women that whiteness has erased. As Cheryl stated in the film: "Sometimes you have to create your own history."

Cheryl combines documentary with various genres, humor, and aesthetics, which she has coined "Dunyementary." She reframes the genres that originally centered whiteness and centers black queer women making it revolutionary and empowering.

Friendship becomes a survival tool as whiteness controls and isolates black queer women. Cheryl and Tamara's bond helps support each other in carving out their own space within whiteness, allowing them to be heard, seen, grow, and belong.

Not only does whiteness erase black queer women, but it also consumes them. Whiteness only sees the black body, never the person. Diana never sees Cheryl, but instead, sees her as a black body to fetishize and consume for her own personal desires.

The intersections of race, gender, and sexuality make black queer women invisible in a society built around white supremacy. The Watermelon Woman highlights how they are erased through film, archives, libraries, and even among other queer and black people.

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!
