Silence: In Search of Black Female Sexuality in America" by Mya Baker

In the age of misogynist hip-hop, as black women are portrayed as "freaks", award winning filmmaker Mya B. sets to destroy the present sexual myths about black women in this Telly-winning film that "is necessary" (SugaPoet).  Mixing melancholic music, film clips, and hard hitting interviews from everyday people, professors, and music video directors Little X and Nzingha Stewart, Silence: In Search of Black Female Sexuality is "an interesting and gritty glimpse" (PBS) into the sexuality of black women.Written, Produced, and Directed by Mya Baker.
