Many hoped that this marked the beginning of additional opportunities for black female directors. British audiences had to wait nine years for history to repeat itself, with the 2004 UK theatrical release of <strong>Amma Asante<\/strong>&#8216;s BAFTA award-winning debut, <strong>&#8216;A Way of Life&#8217;.<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_115317\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-115317\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Black-British-Female-Directors.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" class=\"lazyload size-medium wp-image-115317\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 300 300'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Black-British-Female-Directors-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-115317\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Clare Anyiam-Osigwe joins Ngozi Onwurah, Amma Asante, Destiny Ekaragha, Debbie Tucker Green, &amp; Rungano Nyoni as Black British Female Directors Getting UK Cinema Distribution<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It was another nine years before Asante directed her sophomore feature, &#8216;Belle&#8217; (2013), followed 3 years later by &#8216;A United Kingdom&#8217; (2016). 2014 saw the release of &#8216;Gone Too Far&#8217;, directed by <strong>Destiny Ekaragha<\/strong> and in 2015, British audiences saw <strong>Debbie Tucker Green<\/strong> become the 4th Black British female director to have a release with &#8216;Second Coming&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Last year saw the release of BAFTA award-winning &#8216;I Am Not a Witch&#8217; by Zambian-born Welsh director <strong>Rungano Nyoni<\/strong>.

Spike Lee has embraced this issue more than most with films such as &#8216;School Days&#8217; in the 1980&#8217;s and &#8216;Jungle Fever&#8217; in the 1990&#8217;s.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/No-Shade-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" class=\"lazyload alignright size-medium wp-image-115318\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 300 169'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/No-Shade-1-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Today in 2018, I find myself taking ownership on the same issue albeit from the perspective of a dermatologist who has seen and heard from clients first hand, the long term effects of colourism&#8221;.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8216;No Shade&#8217; explores the hardships of the modern dating world through the dysmorphic presence of colourism as well as the fetishization of black women.
