I initially planned on doing a different video, but things shifted after watching Invincible and Temptation Island. I enjoyed working on this and tried to root this issue in the history and sociology xx.

Anyway, I’m logging back in to celebrate two very important anniversaries:

The first is the anniversary of my debut memoir, ‘Fat Off, Fat On: A Big Bitch Manifesto’—which is now 2 years old.

The second is my media test “The Kent Test”—which is now 7 years old.
Book cover: FAT OFF FAT ON A BIG BITCH MANIFESTO CLARKISHA KENT Kent has a white dress on and is holding a vanilla cupcake with red icing. She is chained, via yellow measuring tape, to the justice scales. One side of the scales has cupcakes on it (the lighter side) and the other side has fruit in it (the heavier side). She is frowning THE KENT TEST CREATED BY CLARKISHA KENT Definition The Kent Test is a media litmus test designed to determine whether a film or any other piece of media has provided the audience with adequate representation of Black women and/or women of color. Its' purpose is to encourage discussion on what good representation can look like for these groups and it is not the be-all and end-all of media criticism. Rather, it is to be used as a starting point. The Kent Test is named after its' creator; culture critic and writer Clarkisha Kent. Any mention of women includes trans women. Instructions Add points in accordance with the following elements of The Kent Test. The lowest number of points a film or piece of media can acquire is 0, while the highest number of points is 8. The character in question: A. Must not solely be a walking stereotype or trope. (1 Point) Tropes are not discouraged, but if the only thing you remember about the character is that they are the "the damsel in distress", "the sassy Black friend", "the fat friend", "the Dragon Lady", etc, this point will be lost. B. Must have their own plot or narrative arc. (1 Point) This character can and should have a story that contributes to the film/piece of media's overall narrative. If they do not, this point will be lost. C. Must not be solely included in the narrative just for purpose of "holding down" a male character and his story. (1 Point) If this character only materializes to support a male character (particularly if this male character is the lead) when he needs help and nothing else, this is a problem and this point will be lost. D. Must not solely be included in the narrative to prop up a White female character. (1 Point) Self-explanatory and a summation of points A, B, and C. This includes characters who only play friends, mentors, figures of authority, slaves, servants, subordinates, antagonists, and the like to a White woman character (particularly if this White woman is the lead). If this character materi… Historically, Black women and women of color have been oversexualized, hypersexualized, and fetishized in the United States-and this phenomenon extends to all media it produces and consumes. If a film/piece of media includes this character for the express purpose of being fetishized, gawked at, or drooled over, this point will be lost. The only exception to this is if the film/piece of media has made it abundantly clear that this is the character's choice, is in line with their character and established logic, and/or is an attempt by the character to subvert an existing trope or expectation. If none of these exceptions apply, this point will be lost. F. Must have at least one interaction with another Black woman or woman of color. (1 Point) Said interaction does not have to be "cordial", but this point will automatically be lost if both characters are reduced to nothing more than competition or conflict-fodder for a male character. A bonus point will be awarded if the second Black woman or woman of color is not related (i.e "family" or blood relation) to the first in any way, shape, or form (1 Point). G. Must not be the go-to character "sacrifice" in a film/piece of media. (1 Point) If this character suddenly offers themselves up on a silver platter to save another character in the film/piece of media, this point will be lost. This is especially applicable if the character being "saved" is not another Black woman or woman of color. And this is doubly applicable if this a piece of media that is scarce when it comes to the sustained presence and involvement of Black women or women of color. The only exception to this is if the film/piece of media has established very clearly that this "sacrifice" is completely in line with the character's wants, needs, goals, and virtues. If this is coming left-field for the character, this point will be lost. Notes As it pertains to point F, long-term media-which for brevity and clarity here means any piece of media that refers to it… Point System 7 - 8 Points This film/piece of media contains strong representation for Black women and/or women of color. 5 - 6 Points This film/piece of media contains sound representation for Black women and/or women of color. 3 - 4 Points This film/piece of media contains middling to fair representation for Black women and/or women of color. 1 - 2 Points This film/piece of media contains pathetic representation for Black women and/or women of color. 0 Points This film/piece of media contains abysmal representation for Black women and/or women of color.

At a time when movie venues are shutting down around the country, now feels like a particularly important time to support independent cinema by watching self-distributed documentary "No Other Land" at a theater near you.
