Abstract
Historically, the representation of Black women in film has been non-existent at worst and highly questionable at best. As cross-cultural spectators - a Black female and a White man - we used an oppositional gaze to critically “look” at the representation and adult development of Black female protagonists across U.S. films. Based on a critical visual methodology of 12 U.S. films, four themes emerged - #noBlackgirlmagic, transition from object-to-subject, the lies (you) tell, and hair it is. The implications for adult and higher education are discussed based on the findings.
