Meaning
This points to representation, and to the gap between presence and visibility. The line reads as a criticism of media culture that leaves Black women with too few affirming images, so the issue is not only being seen, but being seen well. It lands sharply in discussions about casting, advertising, or the stories children grow up watching.
