In this week’s episode we’re joined by cultural critic Clarkisha Kent— she created the Kent Test, a new system for determining to what extent a film or tv show adequately represents femmes of color. Using the Kent Test we break down the ways mainstream media fails people of color— looking at Jessica Jones, This Is Us, Sleepy Hollow, and others— and how we can start to do better and tell better, more diverse stories. Plus, Clarkisha tells us how she became Lena Dunham’s foe!
