Humanizing characters on television for self-love | Cameron Johnson
"You're cute, for a black guy." This microaggression is just one of the many experiences that inspired television writer Cameron Johnson's powerful short documentary titled as such. Through humor and insight, Johnson explores how television shapes the way we view Black gay men, and why it's crucial for them to be in the writer's room. Representation matters—authentic Black gay love on screen isn't just vital for those who live it but for society as a whole. Download now to see how love and fiction can reshape perceptions and break down stigmas.
