Dubbed as 'the black Bridget Jones,' Queenie is a 25-year-old British-Jamaican woman navigating the trials of single life while also battling against a system seemingly against her.
Queenie, adapted into a Channel 4 drama, tackles issues such as everyday racism, feeling out of place, and mental health, presenting a real and honest portrayal of a black woman.
Queenie deals with challenges like a problematic gynecology appointment, racial comments, a tragic break-up, and struggles with men only interested in her for being black.
Carty-Williams emphasizes the need for a black woman character like Queenie who is not stereotyped but portrayed as real and honest in her messy complexities.
