Ubiquitous triple consciousness frameworks offer a more comprehensive understanding of the black American female experience by incorporating a third gendered lens that validates the intricate complexities of their lives. In their article, "The Affirmative Discomforts of Black Female Authorship: Rethinking Triple Consciousness in Contemporary American Culture," the author explores this methodology by examining a diverse group of contemporary black female authors across four disciplines: history, literature, music, and television. These authors' multimedia works engage with a third lens that the author conceptualizes as rupture, which simultaneously embraces and rejects racial and gendered experiences that are both affirmative and contradictory, unsettling, and ultimately unresolved. This rupture challenges hegemonic notions of identity and paves the way for a potential shift, one that has the potential to lead to profound rethinking and reimagination.
