Abstract

The article discusses the film American Fiction, which features actresses Tracee Ellis Ross, Issa Rae, and Erika Alexander in leading roles. The film explores themes of Black family dynamics, racism, homophobia, and the struggle to maintain personal truths in a society that reduces Black voices. The actresses reflect on their characters and the importance of portraying whole, complex Black women on screen. The article also highlights the significance of shows like Living Single, Girlfriends, and Insecure in representing Black sisterhood and shaping the representation of Black women on television.
