The Same Difference, a compelling documentary directed by Nneka Onuorah, explores the complex dynamics of gender roles within the African American lesbian and bisexual community. The film delves into the internalized hetero-normative gender expectations that shape relationships and identities within the community. Through interviews with key figures like actress Felicia “Snoop” Pearson from The Wire and Lea DeLaria from Orange Is the New Black, the documentary provides an intimate look at how identity is shaped, challenged, and performed by queer black women.We will also host an open discussion after the film to reflect on the themes of race, gender, and sexuality as they intersect within the experiences of queer black women. This event offers an opportunity to engage in meaningful dialogue about identity, inclusion, and the complexities of discrimination within the LGBTQ+ community.A light lunch and snacks will be provided during the event.
