Jennifer Holness was inspired to make "Subjects of Desire" about Black women and beauty in our culture after having three daughters who struggled with how the world perceives them."Subjects of Desire" is a new movie about Black women and beauty in our culture. It's part of the Black Harvest Film Festival at the Gene Siskel Film Center.
"I've been a Black woman my whole life, and when you live in the skin of a Black woman there are all kinds of things that come at you and a lot of it is negative and some of it you don't even understand," Holness said. "There are only three models for what a Black woman can be: somebody's caretaker/maid, this oversexualized video girl, or they're the angry Black woman," a track in the documentary explains.
Holness said that colorism and its painful history within the Black culture is still very much alive.
