Diary of a Mad Black Woman is a 2005 American romantic comedy drama[2] film directed by Darren Grant and written by Tyler Perry. Inspired by the play of the same name, it marks Perry's feature film debut and is the first entry in the Madea film franchise. Starring Perry alongside Kimberly Elise, Steve Harris, Shemar Moore, and Cicely Tyson, it tells the story of a woman who is thrown out of her house by her husband on their 18th wedding anniversary and subsequently moves in with her grandmother, and is the only film written, but not directed, by Perry.

Without the interruptions by Grandma Madea, the movie would be about Helen as a shattered woman who (1) tells the judge Charles can keep all his assets, because she doesn't want a penny; (2) goes to work as a waitress; and (3) is courted by the handsome Orlando, who is kind, understanding, sincere and knows how to listen to women. (1) is impossible, because no judge is going to let a wife abandoned by an adulterer after 18 years walk away without a penny, but never mind. Does Helen find happiness with Orlando?

In her diary, we also follow Wells to Europe, where she takes part in international dialogue and alliances around support for the abolition of slavery. We can see that when BLM leaders take their movement to a global level, it echoes a strategy used in earlier times.

A daughter of Mississippi sharecroppers who developed ingenious strategies for access to global travel in the 1920s, Juanita Harrison did not record public events; rather, she developed unique ways to disrupt cultural assumptions of her time. Harrison recounts in her diary how she altered hairstyles, clothing and accessories as she journeyed from place to place.

History books can explain how events unfolded, but powerful visions of alternative futures await discovery in personal accounts of life in earlier times. These diaries bring the past to life even as they invent creative strategies to fight deep-rooted injustice. They challenge conventional assumptions about American history and offer lessons for the future that only a diary can teach.

I am sitting in bed, surrounded by flu remedies. I am a cesspool of germs. I am trying to figure out whether to go and see a show or not. The show is called Mixed Brain, and in it, I believe that a young man of colour will be speaking about his experiences as a young man of colour in the UK. I am too sick to go to see this show, having vomited twice this afternoon. But I think of my show this afternoon, my show about my experiences as a black woman in the UK. I think of looking out into a white audience, and feeling horribly, horrifically alone, feeling like doing the show is going into battle. I do not want this to be the case for him. So I double my dosage of Day Nurse. I am determined to go, to sit in the front row, to be present, as other people of colour have been present for me.

Extant diaries by Black women in the mid- to late-19th century reveal a culture of life-writing, self-education and personal introspection, Putzi said. Her course discusses conventions of diary writing and histories of African American literacy and education.

3. Perry gave himself the OK to play not just an older woman but also multiple characters onscreen after seeing and admiring Eddie Murphy's performance as both male and female members of one family in The Nutty Professor sequel The Klumps. In Diary, Perry plays Madea; Madea's lascivious brother Uncle Joe, a character that first appeared in I Know I've Been Changed; and Joe's straitlaced son, Brian.

"When I first got the script, it was kind of scary," Elise admitted to MovieWeb in 2005. "I was like, 'A guy dressed as a woman? That's not funny. I don't get it.' It wasn't until I sat down with Tyler, basically, and we all sat around and read the script. I couldn't make it through the script without absolutely dying."

This movie never decides what it wants and what it is. Helen has to deconstruct her life and rebuild from the inside out. She gets a job as a waitress and visits her mother (Cecily Tyson) in a nursing home. She is at first angry with Orlando, then too proud to accept his help and unable to believe that any man could be good to her, but finally ready to give and accept love. Then Charles comes back into her life. This time he needs her. Helen has to decide what she wants and who she is. The movie tries to have it both ways, asking us to root for Helen when she is a pious victim and a, well, "mad black woman." It teeters unsteadily between crude humor and soulful faith.

Elise is a lovely actress who looks exquisite as she suffers and she makes the most of the soapy melodrama. Moore is an appealing knight in shining armor and Tyson, as always, adds some class. Perry's wild caricature of a drag performance as Madea seems to be from an entirely different movie. If Diary of a Mad Black Woman had been written by white people, the portrayal would have been called racist, sexist, and just plain embarrassing. Perry's old man is a one-joke dud, but his role as Brian shows some presence and conviction. One-note characters like the crack addict and the drug dealer probably worked better on stage but just seem cardboard-y on screen. Helen's next diary entry just might be to wish for a better script.

Charles McCarter and his wife Helen are about to celebrate their 18th-wedding anniversary when Helen comes home to find her clothes packed up in a U-Haul van parked in the driveway. Charles is divorcing Her. Helen moves in with her grandmother Madea, an old woman who doesn't take any lip from anyone. Madea helps Helen through these tough times by showing her what is really important in life.

Riding in the car, the day was suddenly dreary, bleak. And life seemed monotonous and sad. I wanted to cry. It seems that I have watched enough winters come in, turned the clocks back enough times, watched the rain turn the world black too many days. Only my children really hold me to life. They give me the patience to wait it out for a new day.

Kimberly Elise portrays Helen McCarter, a depressed woman living in Atlanta with her husband Charles (Steve Harris). When Charles decides he wants to marry his "other woman" Brenda, he literally drags Helen out the door. With no place to go, Helen goes to live with her grandmother Mabel "Madea" Simmons (Tyler Perry) in the ghetto. Madea assists Helen in getting her life back under control with the help of Helen's mother Myrtle Jean (Cicely Tyson), Madea's brother Joe (Tyler Perry), and Brian (Tyler Perry), her attorney relative.

That rediscovery continues in Notes from a Black Woman's Diary, which spans genres to reveal the breadth and depth of the late author's talent. The compilation is anchored by more of Collins's short stories, which, striking and powerful in their brevity, reveal the ways in which relationships are both formed and come undone. Also collected here is the work Collins wrote for the screen and stage: the screenplay of her film Losing Ground, in which a professor discovers that the student film she's agreed to act in has uncomfortable parallels to her own life; and the script for The Brothers, a play about the potent effects of sexism and racism on a midcentury middle-class black family. And finally, it is in Collins's raw and prescient diaries that her nascent ideas about race, gender, marriage, and motherhood first play out on the page.

"Collins limns incisive portraits of artistic, intellectual black women stretched to their limits that glimmer against a background of racism, sexism, and just plain life. A timely reclamation of a remarkable voice." -- Booklist

Helen McCarter had everything a woman wants: a nice house and rich husband. However after her husband, Charles throws her out of the house after admitting to having an affair and having two children with her. A distraught Helen turns to her mother, grandmother Madea and cousin Brian who take her in and turn back to God. Helen learns for the first time in her life to stand up on her two feet and is ready to remove herself from her relationship with Charles and move on with a man named Orlando. But when her husband is almost killed by a vengeful client, Helen wonders if she has the heart to forgive him despite everything, as Brenda, Charles' girlfriend leaves him with his money and kids, and she even told the hospital to let them die.

Helen (Kimberly Elise) and Charles McCarter (Steve Harris) had everything: fine home, beautiful clothes and success. In public, they were the perfect match. But behind the scenes was another matter. On what should have been the end of the happiest day of their lives, Charles evicts Helen, his wife of 18 years, from their house in the presence of his mistress. She moves in with her grandmother, Madea (Tyler Perry). Helen then goes from meek and mild to mad, starts a diary and a new life, and meets a new man, Orlando (Shemar Moore).Tropes:

As the film begins, Lauren is preparing to audition for the role of Anne in the stage production of the diary. When she shows up, a Black woman, Mia, is exiting the audition room, and the two recognize each other. 2351a5e196
