Noir often delves into themes of resilience, struggle, and the nuanced interplay between light and shadow in the black experience. It may incorporate elements of mystery, ambiguity, and introspection to convey the multifaceted nature of black narratives, capturing both the triumphs and challenges faced by individuals within the black community.
