Abstract
This paper discusses the depiction of Strong Black Womanhood within the context of The Wendy Williams Show. With over 2.4 million daily viewers, the show clutches a top spot in the female demographic and gains popularity year after year. I discuss how the image of Black Womanhood is simultaneously weakened and novelized by the Wendy Williams Show. I also explore the implications concerning Black womanhood, consumption patterns, and identity construction among females in America.
