‘Love Island USA’ gives viewers, specifically Black women, hope that love is in reach, writes Taylor Crumpton.
is a music, pop culture, and politics writer from Dallas. In her work—which can be found in outlets like, The Guardian, NPR, and many other platforms—Crumpton writes about a range of topics from Black Queer advocacy to the underrepresented hip-hop scenes in the southern United States to pop analysis on releases like “WAP” and “Black Is King”Dating shows always gave me the impression that love is something to be used and bartered in exchange for fame.
Racism, colorism, and texturism: all of these impact the dating lives of Black women, and how potential suitors determine their attractiveness. In the outside world, where Black women are not privy to a group of producers wrangling up a roster of hot 20-somethings to date, the pickings are slim. Black women aremore likely to be unpartnered compared to our male counterparts, according to a 2021 study by Pew Research Center.
A love that was not believed at first by Serena, who expressed how she felt humiliated by Kordell’s decision to couple with bombshell Daia McGhee. Her reaction, which was described as hyper emotional by fellow cast member Miguel Harichi and aggressive by another cast member Kendall Washington, nearly typecasted her as the aggressive Black woman stereotype.
This leads us to another cast member: Kenny. The 24-year-old fitness trainer had his eyes on JaNa from the moment he entered the villa. And he pursued her with the same intensity. There was never a moment, not even in Casa Amor, where she was not in the back of his mind. When she cried, he cried. If she was in pain, he was in pain.
