Black Horror & Black Trauma: Where Is The Line? (working title)
As a fan of Black media and horror, I have found this conversation interesting. In a genre like horror, where issues of race, gender, sexuality, and class have always been part of the framing of the horror—what is the line between Black trauma and Black horror? How much of our history are we allowed to put into these stories, and how do we communicate our different boundaries to each other without trying to harm or judge?Dedicated to Yhara ZaydSources:https://www.apa.org/topics/traumahttps://www.mhanational.org/racial-traumahttps://www.buzzfe...

This video was made in line with the SAG/WGA guidelines and is not a promotion of struck work; it is a work of critical analysis surrounding the DCEU.xx
