I think that it is possible for filmmakers to represent black females as sex workers in a transformative way, but I think that it would be very hard to do.
I completely agree with Valerie, in order for this to happen, the female character needs to have more depth, we need more knowledge of the characters background as to why they had to choose this job to acquire the job of their dreams, make it literally the last option.
In Spike Lee's "Girl 6" she turned down all other sexual demanding jobs, and was forced to become a phone sex operator in order to make a living and to get to achieve her dream of becoming an actress. I like this because it gave the character some morals, she was almost forced to take this job, I think that spike lee did a really good job of transforming and developing this character into a person that the viewers had sympathy for.
