Black Women
I think it is definitely possible to have a black female sex worker in a film, and make the narrative transformative. However, it does depend on various other things included in a film. For example, the reason why she is a sex worker. Or the way her character is portrayed on film. If she is a sex worker for the wrong reasons, the transformative nature of the film would be lost. However, if she is doing said acts to pay for something later, that will transform her character, or doing so to help out a family member, then it would definitely be transformative. It is important for the writing and directing to be strong enough to indeed transform the main character.
