THINGS BLACK ACTORS SAY:
"Acting makes me think about who I am first, before I try to be anyone else. It woke me up to things about myself I didn't know..."
"My Worst Day Was My First Day"
"It was a reward, for my career to see me, my character save the day.."
"Seeing Award Winning Actors mess up, helped me feel more grounded in myself...we all mess up"
"There's so many people not getting roles because of how they look, how they sound and things they don't have control over...and they can't see their privilege?"
"Privilege is not what you have gone through, it's what you didn't have to go through'
"Seeing Good Times and I remember seeing that show at my earliest ages, and seeing them with their hair, with their afros, and I never saw that before...it was special to me, because I was always picked on about my hair..."
