Hulu's 'Queenie' Challenges the Strong Black Woman Stereotype

Adapted from Candice Carty-Williams' novel, the series explores the complexities of a young Black woman's life and mental health.

Dionne Brown stars as Queenie Jenkins, a British-Jamaican woman navigating personal and professional turmoil.
The show addresses issues like racism, mental health, and the pressures of being perceived as strong.
Carty-Williams, also the showrunner, wanted to depict a Black British woman narrating her own story.
The series draws comparisons to 'Insecure' for its intimate and relatable portrayal of a young woman's struggles.
'Queenie' is available for streaming on Hulu, with its first season offering eight half-hour episodes.
