Abstract
This essay argues that writer Michelle Daniel and director Christina Brown employ the Internet as a small-screen platform to disrupt hegemonic media constructions of women's same-sex eroticism and queer identities. Daniel and Brown, with the creation of the dramatic web series Between Women, and the ongoing expansion of it into the "network" Between Women TV, cultivate a digital environment wherein black lesbians and bisexual women are portrayed on a spectrum of characterization, and are situated in community with each other and in a broader African American context. It includes a brief overview of black lesbian-and bisexual-identified characters in television serials and Hollywood productions.
