The New Black Film Collective presents a TNB Town Hall Debate –

-----------------------———————————————

TOPIC: REALITY CHEQUE - The Humiliation of Black Women on TV for Clout!

Join us for a dynamic and thought-provoking virtual town hall discussion that will break down, analyse, and explore the timely and important subject of how Black women are portrayed and betrayed at their expense.

We shall ask -

Do casting directors purposefully select female contestants with European beauty standards?

Do contestants fake relationships for brand deals?

Is a weave mandatory?

Do colourism or fetishism play a role in casting?

How far are women prepared to go for celebrity status and a cheque?

How does race and gender together shape the challenges Black women face in society and relationships?
