Emanuel - Black Woman (Official Video)

Breakout R&B singer-songwriter Emanuel continues his contribution of meaningful, expressive art with the official music video for “Black Woman” released by Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading company. Filmed in Los Angeles and directed by Jamar Harding (Tinashé, Jay Sean), the video conceptualises the song’s message of recognising and honouring Black women. Through vignettes featuring women of various ages, shades and lifestyles, the resilience, beauty and uniqueness of the Black woman’s spirit is portrayed.

Emanuel’s inspiration for ‘Black Woman’ opens the video as we hear Nikki Giovanni’s striking words from almost 50 years ago during her 1971 conversation with fellow author, poet and activist James Baldwin: “I get least of you. I get the very minimum. And I'm saying, you know, fake it with me. Is that too much for the Black Woman to ask of the Black Man?”
