Abstract
Focusing on television depictions of ‘millennial’ Black women, this article explores how such on-screen identities are crafted through entwined issues concerning race, gender, sexuality and feminism. Theorising post-feminism in this contemporary context necessitates discussion of post-feminism’s (dis)connection to and from Black feminism and the politics of intersectionality. Thus, this article examines how Black feminist and post-feminist media sentiments push against each other in ways that may indicate a form of Black post-feminist television. It considers how ‘millennial’ Black women are depicted in Chewing Gum (2015–2017) and Insecure (2016–present) and analyses how feminist media discourse is implicated in these representations.
