Just put out a NEW It Gets Better video with director and film producer Nneka Onuorah!
You might know her as the director who toured the country to interview Black lesbians about masculinity and femininity for her first self-funded documentary, The Same Difference.
Orr maybe you know her from winning an EMMY for directing the reality series Watch Out for the Big Grrrls.
We asked about her journey through growing up in the church, to coming out as lesbian, and discovering a balance within her own identities. She says, "It gets better is the realest phrase I've ever heard." 💜
Was a joy shooting with her, watch here on Youtube (English and Spanish caption options) and reblog bc this is the Black lesbian representation we need!

#❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️#This whole case had me changing my opinions and views(at least for the moment)#celebrating the police and the system#being xenophobic towards Canadian people#posting stories with reader plus white celebrities with fluffy or smutty material#nearly being racist towards black men#saying that some of them nigcels deserved to be another hashtag#and backing the death penalty.#megan thee stallion#i’m not sad for her#i’m outraged#i’m just glad she’s in a better place now#those people can speak for themselves they know who they are#and they can go straight to hell#they will pay for their crimes#for sucking that abusers meat#Instagram#As always a loud and sincere fuck you to everyone who has doubted her and supported that Canadian cuntery who must not be named#She went through unnecessary trauma for two years#That’s unforgivable#Next level fuckery#That that type of ish that would lead to an episode of snapped or deadly women#once again#🖕🏿daystar Peterson#annnnn boom#just like that#may all who come against black women rot#Don’t fuck with black women#If you can’t love them then at least don’t harm them#can’t wait to see that sociopath locked up on August 7th.

Nneka Onuorah
https://www.unadonnalgiorno.it/nneka-onuorah/
Nneka Onuorah è una regista, produttrice e attivista statunitense di origine nigeriana che col suo lavoro vuole dare voce a chi non ce l’ha.
Nel 2022 è stata insignita di un Emmy Award per la regia del reality Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls.
Nata nel Queens, a New York, nel 1988 da padre nigeriano e madre afro-americana, aveva 14 anni quando ha fatto coming out sul suo orientamento sessuale. Ha studiato danza al Broadway Dance Center e si è laureata in Psicologia al LaGuardia Community College.
Dopo uno stage presso il BET è stata assunta come produttrice lavorando a Black Girls Rock! e vari documentari musicali.
La notorietà è arrivata con The Same Difference del 2015, un documentario sull’omofobia interiorizzata all’interno della comunità lesbica nera che ha ricevuto una nomination per il premio GLAAD.
Ha prodotto la docuserie originale Netflix First and Last, sul sistema carcerario statunitense e My House, sulla comunità black queer per Viceland.
Insieme a Giselle Bailey ha prodotto Burn Down the House sulla ballerina parigina Kiddy Smile, presentato in anteprima al NewFest LGBTQ Film Festival e The Legend of the Underground, sulle persone LGBTQ nigeriane che hanno lasciato il paese in cerca di asilo a causa di leggi persecutorie.
Nel 2022, Onuorah ha diretto il reality Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls che per il suo tour ha voluto un corpo di ballo formato da ragazze formose sotto rappresentate a causa della loro fisicità.
Ha creato la campagna We are All Women, focalizzata al miglioramento dell’assistenza sanitaria e di alloggi equi per le donne lesbiche.
