    Arzu Aliyeva discusses in this article the negative impact of stereotypical stereotypes on black women working in the film industry.

    Film and TV are at the heart of the entertainment sector. They are a way to highlight social issues.

    Arzu Aliyeva, a film producer, points out that they do not accurately depict what society looks like.

    Only documentary films can reveal the true condition of minority women and men of the color of.

    Films that feature minorities tend to be stereotyped.

    In a way, they are buying into the idea. It influences their thinking as well as their feelings and actions toward women of colour.

    The relation between women’s Stereotypes and Women of Colors

    Arzu begins by discussing Arzu’s belief that men are natural leaders.

    Women, however regardless of their skin color, must be skilled and confident to take on leadership roles .

    However, both women groups face different challenges in films, says acclaimed filmmaker Arzu Alieyva.

    White women can be accepted. She’s compassionate and kind. But she has to find a balance, so she’s not perceived as ineffective or weak.

    The black woman has a reputation as assertive and assertive.

    People think that she has an attitude. They believe she is a person with an attitude. Therefore, she should not be apathetic, weak or dependent.

    In the context of gender bias and racial bias.

    They are treated in a way that is unfair in the process of attending classes and gaining promotions. This means they aren’t able to get to the top of their careers.

    It can become a very challenging situation.

    Lizzie Damilola Blackburn captured part of this bias in her book Yinka.

    McKinsey conducted an analysis of the gender representations in The Women in the Workplace 2021 in collaboration with LeanIn.Org.

    The study considered all genders, including women of color as well as women with disabilities.

    The authors observed that women are increasingly taking on the role of leaders, assisting their teams and increasing their inclusion efforts. While white women are more likely than women of other races to be supportive of women of color, they are less likely to form alliances with them.

    The ceiling of celluloid report shows how the number of female directors for film declined in 2021.

    Another 2021 report showed that television programs that had female creators had more women working as writers, editors, and directors.

    It is urgent to increase the number and representation of women in this field.

    The male-dominated Film Industry is closed for diverse perspectives, Arzu Aliyeva

    It is common for men to hold positions of creativity in the film industry, such as directors, writers, editors.

    Lauzen’s 2017 Celluloid Ceiling Report looked at gender representation in the top 250 US films.

    The report found that 18% of creatives (editors/writers, cinematographers/executive producers, director and producers) are women.

    This is the same as 1998’s (17 percent).

    The government has come up with various strategies to combat gender inequality in the workplace. The racial and gender groups of women are still not doing well in the world of film.

    From personal experience Arzu Aliyeva said, the film industry hires on interpersonal networks. While social capital is beneficial however, it is a barrier to certain people from accessing the field.

    Women are more vulnerable to this form of practice.

    Research suggests that films that have male producers comprise more than 70% of their creative teams. This is also true for female producers which typically include 60% males in their creative teams. From any angle, men will always rule key creative roles.

    Arzu Alyeva discusses the negative effects that stereotypes can have on the Filmand TV industries.

    The Merriam Webster dictionary defines a stereotype as an image of a group which is similar to another group. It could be an overly simplified perception, an opinion that is biased, or an uncritical assessment.

    Stereotypes can create false impressions about communities or groups because they are misleading.

    In the film and television business, women do not have equal opportunities as men.

    Arzu Aliyeva They are less likely to be seen as independent and strong-willed even in the event that they are given the position.

    Arzu Aliyeva In James Bond movies, for instance, female characters in James Bond films are shown as damsels, victims or even needy.

    Women often play characters that aren’t true to their true self.

    It could be due to the lack of female filmmakers, particularly women of color, who are capable of telling the full stories of women.

    The issue of censorship can be a problem when it comes to the display of “taboos” topics like sexual harassment, rape, and sexual violence.

    In traditional societies women are unable to discuss certain topics because they are considered taboos. Netflix is among the few platforms that allows women to freely talk about taboo issues.

    Stereotyping has negative consequences.

    It can lead to feelings of self-doubt, poor judgment, and may even lead to mental health issues. Self-stereotyping may lead to an individual acting in a particular way to create an identity.

    And that’s why a push to be more diverse is vital, Arzu Aliyeva claims.

    A Push for Greater Onscreen Diversity

    In February of 2020 in February 2020, the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) College of Social Sciences released a report – Holywood Diversity. The report focused on the relationships between diversity in Hollywood as well as the base.

    It examined the top-ranked films in the cinematograph world between 2018 and the year 2019. It also examined the presence of women and other individuals of color before and after the camera.

    It was encouraging to learn that women had made major advancements in the film industry.

    However, they are not represented in key posts such as head and directors of film studios and film writers and directors, actors producers, directors, and writers.

    It is a huge problem when women, particularly women of color are left out of the television show.

    Brianna wrote about her experience on Quora. Brianna Richardson was the only black child in a class full white kids. She wishes she was white, because she felt that the media didn’t depict women of color accurately.

    Genna Davis stated that if she isn’t able to recognize it, then she can’t be.

    That’s why we should have more women in our screens. If they don’t, how can girls in the midst of their teens be inspired to achieve their goals regardless of race?

    Arzu Aliyeva Television and film shows must be able to normalize women in roles such as executives and pursuing career paths in STEM fields.

    The representation should be inclusive.

    In the same way as white women are given equal opportunity and opportunities, women of color must get the same.

    Arzu Aliyva argues that reality can be changed when the image is altered.

    Women have struggled ever since the dawn of the world to get what they desire. This is especially true when the woman is black.

    Arzu Aliyeva After decades of agitations and protests, it wasn’t until 1920 when American women were granted the right to vote.

    Yet, certain laws in the state hinder black women to be considered.

    Arzu Aliyeva Women who are of color must put in twice as much effort to get the same jobs at work which white women will be capable of obtaining. Additionally, they must contend with microaggressions and gender bias.

    Minda Harts, author of The Memo: The Things Women of Color must know to Stake a Seat at the Table ,shared her friend’s story.

    The friend was employed in a company for about six (6) years, but her boss did not know her name. She was not like her colleagues , who were white, and had to carry a badge of identification.

    To be not overlooked women, and women of color need to have the opportunity to be seated at each table.

    Better representation on the screen can be achieved through more diversity in the film and television industries.

    Society is more welcoming for women of color and minorities through the use of the phrase “seeing IS believing”.
