"Jeymes Samuel isn’t much more imaginative than white Hollywood writers and directors. He can’t imagine Stagecoach Mary looking how she did- a beautiful fat, tall, dark-skinned Black woman- and being desired. His casting choices may reflect his *gendered* colorist biases. He hand-picked dark-skinned, monoracial Black actors to play the big, strong, and tough cowboys, despite most of the real-life male characters being fair-complected and mixed-raced. The first person he chose to be Stagecoach Mary was Erykah Badu, a light-brown skinned, thin, and green-eyed Black woman in his 2013 short film They Die by Dawn. He recently chose Zazie Beatz, a light-skinned biracial actress, to play Stagecoach Mary. This infographic essay explores what could have informed these decisions. Light skinned and biracial actresses also have a responsibility to turn down these roles (see slide 9). Don't forget to support me (last slide) if you're able to! #colorism #stagecoachmary #zaziebeetz #thehardertheyfall #jeymesamuel #explorepage #explorepage"

In Living a Feminist Life Sara Ahmed shows how feminist theory is generated from everyday life and the ordinary experiences of being a feminist at home and at work. Building on legacies of feminist of color scholarship in particular, Ahmed offers a poetic and personal meditation on how feminists become estranged from worlds they critique-often by naming and calling attention to problems-and how feminists learn about worlds from their efforts to transform them. Ahmed also provides her most sustained commentary on the figure of the feminist killjoy introduced in her earlier work while showing how feminists create inventive solutions-such as forming support systems-to survive the shattering experiences of facing the walls of racism and sexism. The killjoy survival kit and killjoy manifesto, with which the book concludes, supply practical tools for how to live a feminist life, thereby strengthening the ties between the inventive creation of feminist theory and living a life that sustains it. https://www.saranahmed.com/
