A term coined by African American feminist scholar, writer, and activist Moya Bailey, misogynoir is defined as “the particular brand of hatred directed at black women in American visual and popular culture.”23 It is a term that describes the place where anti-Black racism and sexism meet, resulting in Black women facing oppression and marginalization under two systems of oppression—white supremacy and patriarchy.
