Post One: Introduction 

"When there's an elephant in the room, you can't pretend it isn't there and just discuss the ants."- Ellen Wittlinger

            For a while now, I’ve wanted to address the metaphorical elephant in Hollywood’s studio; the overwhelming lack of representation for women of color. After talking with friends, reading comment sections, internet forums, watching videos, and documentaries on the subject, it became apparent that not a lot of people could see the elephant. I’m an English major with a concentration on digital media so I’ve been taking a lot of film classes and to my disappointment there are very few female lead movies and even fewer films with a Black woman as the main character. At some point, I tried to ignore the question at the back of my mind that that asked why aren’t there more African American Women in film? It kept creeping into my thoughts more and more because a lot of the classic and worth watching movies we analyzed in these film classes centered around a white male protagonist and the audience for most of the time had to look from the male perspective.

            I’ve been tasked by my gender and women studies professor to take up a research project that sheds light on a problem that contributes to oppression on the basis of gender. Naturally that question in the back of my mind rose to the top again and I immediately knew this was something that I really wanted to talk about and discuss. I decided to do a text based blog with images opposed to a traditional paper because film is a visual medium so it’s only natural to include visual cues and evidence to effectively display what I’m talking about. Overall this blog is a means to investigate why African American women are essentially invisible in the film industry. To effectively do this I want to analyze the systemic roadblocks involved, some common stereotypical representations of Black women in film, actresses that have tried to make their mark in the film community, and what can be done to fix this problem.
