Context "In addition to caregiving Mammies, African American women are often portrayed as sexually irresponsible, promiscuous Jezebels and as angry, combative Sapphires (Collins, 2000; Jewell, 1993). If you do not believe that these images still exist, spend an afternoon watching television. Although many marginalized groups are stereotyped, including women from all ethnic backgrounds, poor people, and sexual minorities, oppressive images can be more damaging for some groups because there are fewer positive or realistic images to counter these negative representations (Hudson, 1998).

"After an exhaustive search of over 327,000 entries, baby food and clothing giant Gerber has announced the winner of its 10th Annual Photo Search.
Besides the stylish headwrap, Magnolia Earl was chosen as the 2020 Gerber Spokesbaby because of her 'joyful expression, playful smile and warm, engaging gaze,' Gerber noted on its website." https://spokesman-recorder.com/2020/05/08/introducing-magnolia-the-2020-gerber-spokesbaby/
