Dara Frazier's Not Every Woman Confronts the Weight Black Women Carry and the Freedom of Letting Go
Dara Frazier's Not Every Woman arrives with the kind of honesty that doesn't ask permission. It steps directly into the emotional lives of Black women. The exhaustion, the humor, the expectations, and the quiet places where we finally admit what we're tired of carrying. The film captures the conversations that happen when the world isn't watching, the ones where we confess that the invisible cape is slipping and that being "strong" has never been the whole story.

The Worlds Between: Mashael Alqahtani Writes the Space Where Fear Meets Freedom
When Mashael Alqahtani says she wanted “a career doing what made me feel less alone,” she isn’t confessing a sentiment so much as mapping a survival strategy. For her, writing was never a hobby or even a goal; it was a practice of return, a ritual learned young from a small red diary gifted by her aunt after watching The Princess Diaries. In that notebook, a child’s loneliness began to mutate into story. The entries weren’t purely autobiographical; they were miniature worlds refracted through humor and exaggeration, the kind of half-true imaginings that made discomfort not just bearable but shapable. “I learned how to interrogate my feelings,” she recalls. “It made me feel comforted by myself and the power of my own imagination.”
