Abstract

One way to ensure a future for the disciplines housed in the pages of CC/CS is to embrace the realization that researchers do not have to disinvite ourselves from the work we do. Through an exploration of my personal connection to Meghan Markle and Stacey Abrams, I illustrate how when Black audiences attempt to quench their desire for sensory connection through on-screen visually matching bodies, it simplifies the actual power of representation we experience when we demand cultural specificity.
