E43: "The Woman King" -REEL Talk w/ Dr. Samantha Coleman x Sandria Washington
"The Woman King," starring Viola Davis, is a box office blockbuster and to our pleasant surprise, it's also a whole Black Adoption story! Take a listen as we break down the many Black Adoption themes in The Woman King as seen through the lenses of two Black adoptees.
We're talking search and reunion, the liberation of the Black birth mother, the rise of the orphan, sisterhood, and of course the Three S's: secrecy, stigma and shame.
We encourage critically watching/reading movies, television shows, books and magazines to understand how adoption - specifically Black Adoption - shows up in popular culture.
Are portrayals accurate? Are you provided with a different frame of reference by being able to externally view these situations? Is there an opportunity to rewrite the narrative? Do creators need to be called out for portrayals that perpetuate negative stereotypes? #DoWriteHollywood
These are all questions that we are asking ourselves and look forward to continuing REEL Talk deep dives into the Black Adoption Experience as seen on the big and small screen.
Video available on YouTube!
