Black Girl In Suburbia (documentary trailer)

Black Girl In Suburbia is a feature documentary that looks into the experiences of Black girls growing up in predominately white communities. This is a different look into suburbia from the perspective of women of color. This film explores through professional and personal interviews the conflict and issues Black girls have relating to both white and Black communities.

Black Girl In Suburbia intends to spark an open dialogue about race, identity, and perspective among all people, in hopes that these discussions will allow us to reconsider perceptions of ourselves, others and the communities in which we live and share.

Release date 2014

But can we discuss Donna Meagle though. 

Can we talk about how many men are after her and how we haven’t even seen HALF of them on screen. And it’s never played for laughs on her behalf but on the fact that she leads a double life that none of her coworkers and friends know that much about. 

And how amazing it is that a plus sized dark skin black woman is shown on screen being coveted by gorgeous men! That she is not some magical negro goddess to solve all the white women’s problems, with no romantic relationships of her own. 

Not to mention that her hair is always laid, face is beat, and her wardrobe shits on everybody in Pawnee excluding Tom. 

I just…man…
Donna gives me so much strength it’s not even funny.
I really want to be here when I grow up. 

I really want to be Donna. I do.

The #DarkSkinRedLip Project hosted by ForBrownGirls: darkskinredlip.tumblr.com

You may think or have even heard someone say that girls with darker skin complexions shouldn’t wear pink or red lipsticks. (Most recently in the media ASAP Rocky) Some just state their opinion, but most times its said in a rude way out of ignorance. 
The key to rocking a beautiful red or pink lip is all in finding the right shade for your complexion.

So For Brown Girls will be putting together the largest collection of Dark Skinned girls rocking their favorite red lip to put an end to the stigma that exists with brown complexion and colors (makeup). 
There, a darker skinned girl hesitant to try a red lip will find confidence to step out of her comfort zone. She may also find suggestions on which shade she should try that will fit her complexion.

Ignorant males & people who have that belief in general will also be silenced to see so many beautiful dark complexioned women rocking their reds! 

Send your photos to forbrowngirls@yahoo.com 
-It should just be you in the photo
-photo must be clear
-include your first name & state
-include brand & shade of your red lipstick
-No Collages Please
