#BlackMagicWoman focuses on the 'tragic mulatto' stereotype that is conventionally portrayed as a character tormented by issues of racial and cultural ambiguity. It explores the journey of the 'mulatto' from 'tragic' to 'empowered' through the character's adherence to Yoruba-Atlantic religions. From this religious transformation, the 'tragic mulatto' becomes the Black Magic Woman, a signifier of a New World cultural identity.
