Posted on by drblackfuturefeminist

The great thing about #BlackJoy is that it can be expressed in a wide variety of ways!! Depending on who you are, what you do, and how you feel, Black Joy has a way of changing the game!

This is particularly the case when it comes to movies. With the new releases of Halle Bailey in The Little Mermaid and the animated Blockbuster Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse starring Miles Morales, it’s a great time to be Black in the Movies!!

Today’s Black Joy Moment is a snapshot compilation of movies that over time have embodied Black joy!!

  • Nothing But a Man (1964)
  • Car Wash (1976)
  • Black Joy (1977)
  • The Wiz (1978)
  • The Color Purple (1985)
  • Coming To America (1988)
  • House Party (1990)
  • Sankofa (1993)
  • The Watermelon Woman (1996)
  • Cinderella (1997)

“Summertime Conversations” with Beloved & Kindred-“Nope”

Posted on by drblackfuturefeminist

Tune in on this Thursday August 18th at 3 pm/ET as Dr. Robinson and I bring you a special #SummertimeConversation on the 2022 summer film from Jordan Peele Nope!! While we wrapped up Season 2 with our discussion on Blackness and horror, we could not help but offer a few thoughts on this compelling film!!

Check it out on Auburn Avenue Research Library Facebook Live and YouTube !!

This discussion explores the newest Jordan Peele film Nope. The residents of a lonely gulch in inland California bear witness to an uncanny and chilling discovery. After random objects falling from the sky result in the death of their father, ranch-owning siblings OJ and Emerald Haywood attempt to capture video evidence of an unidentified flying object with the help of tech salesman Angel Torres and documentarian Antlers Holst.

And just in case you want to refresh your memory of the movie, check out the trailer below AND go see it in a theater near you:
