Film director B. Monet says Black women have gone through so much adversity, but they still find a way to triumph. It’s a story Monet seeks to tell in her new documentary, “Black Girls.”  

The film explores the many intergenerational facets of Black womanhood, including beauty, childbirth, community, love and relationships. Among the personal stories is seven-time Olympic gold medalist Allyson Felix.  

On Thursday’s edition of “Closer Look,” Monet and Loren Hudson, the senior vice president and chief diversity officer at Comcast Cable, were guests on the program. They talked with show host Rose Scott about the film and the importance of championing stories of resilience, community and introspection. Hudson also discussed Comcast’s commitment to telling diverse stories.

“Black Girls” can be viewed on Peacock, Xfinity and for free on Xumo.
