Daughters of the Dust dir. Julie Dash (1991)

Everyone. This was the first film directed by an African-American woman to get a general release in the United States. It’s notoriously hard to find and criminally underseen and it is now streaming of Netflix, as of today, 6/14/17. Please please please go watch it.

Fresh lemonade is my drink of choice. In my small Kentucky town, beautiful black, brown, and white girls set up their lemonade stands and practice the art of money making—it’s business. As a grown black woman who believes in the manifesto “Girl, get your money straight” my first response to Beyoncé’s visual album, Lemonade, was WOW—this is the business of capitalist money making at its best.

“The more aware you become, the more you shed from day to day what you have learned so that your mind is always fresh and uncontaminated by previous conditioning.”
