“We have a Black president right now so why the f**k would I sit down and talk about how hard it is for black women in Hollywood when there’s a Black president in my country?” “When I go after a part, [people] better watch their backs. Not because I’m going to crush everybody, but because I’m going to give the best that I can because I strive for excellence. When you don’t get a part, it is for a reason, and these pieces […]
