8 films that celebrate Black lesbian identity
Movie night starts now.
Stud Life (2012)
This film, led by brilliant trans writer/director Campbell X, is an honest, timely, and chaotic story about London-based wedding photographer, JJ; her (gay and white) best friend, Seb; and her whimsical witty love interest, Elle.
Rafiki (2018)
This queer love story, led by director Wanuri Kehui, premiered at Cannes — and was banned by the Kenyan government, where gay sex is illegal. Rafiki addresses issues of class, proximity, and religious fear in a world that’s violent for Black lesbians.
