Black women are underrepresented in the media

[2k13]

This post made me realize that black women are under represented in the media. If they are shown they are shown in a negative light (i.e gabby sidibe)
In particular natural haired and dark-brownskin black women under 40 are severely underrepresented.

All we have is Keke palmer.
This thread is dedicated to black actresses under 40 who need MORE exposure. There is a HUGE MARKET for black women and girls.

Imani Hakim:
Imani Hakim is a black actress that first arrived on the scene via everybody hates chris, she has recently returned with new roles under her belt in the movie Chocolate City, and The Gabby Douglas story.

Teyonah Parris, she recently played in Mad Men, and is now in a show called Survivors Remorse

Aja Naoimi King, is an actress that stars in How to get away wit murder, she was previously on a CW show called Emily Owens MD

Serayah Mcneill is not an actress per say but she is singer/actress that got her big break on Fox hit show Empire

Nah. I'm brown skinned. I also have 4c hair.

My siblings are very light and freckle faced though. My grandfather (on my dads side) is a white man. We never knew him though. But I don't look mixed. My siblings do though.

Tika Sumpter. Tika Sumpter is not new to the acting scene, But I would love to see her in new and interesting roles besides the Haves and havenots and tyler perry gigs.

Jaida Benjamin is an up and newcomer, who has appeared in Disneys hit shows liv and Maddie, and Austin and Ally

Yaya Dacosta. Despite being in the business for so long Yaya has only had one recent major role in the whitney houston biopic on lifetime

After learning about Keke from the homies, I can't cosign her being a role model for young girls.

The rest of that list is dope though, I hadn't heard about those names.

If they ain't getting roles is because they ain't sucking the right dikks.
