Inclusion. Leadership. These words are synonymous with modern society as we become more aware of how the lack of them can negatively impact individuals and entire groups of people. Organisations actively encourage their employees to engage in employee resource groups (ERGs), which support their employees’ inclusion. Many have created HR initiatives and bespoke training and crafted mission statements, all to elevate the experience of employees and fulfil their corporate social responsibility (CSR).

Before Arthur Jafa became an art world sensation, he was a sought-after but under-the-radar filmmaker. He was the cinematographer for Daughters of the Dust, a 1991 film by his then wife, Julie Dash; for Spike Lee’s Crooklyn, in 1994; and, in the 2010s, for the music videos for Solange’s “Don’t Touch My Hair” and “Cranes in the Sky.” He worked under Stanley Kubrick on Eyes Wide Shut, codirected the video for Jay-Z’s “4:44,” and shot documentaries on subjects including Malcolm X and Audre Lorde.

I’m obliquely asserting that black femininity is not contained within the black woman’s body; also, thoughts about her cannot be engulfed by visible representations of her body.
