Quotes

  • If you are a black person in entertainment or a black person in sport, and you ‘fail’, you are reminded that you cannot do both.
  • "There's real work to be done, there are frank conversations to be had. A magazine cover is already pretty, the words don't have to be."
  • Take your time, please be gentle.
  • “Every seat at the table you get, you must remind people that the strength of Black women sometimes comes from trauma. Sometimes comes from ancestral, spiritual trauma that we don’t even know about, or it comes from fear, or it comes from anxiety, it comes from society throwing this film over us that we did not ask for and that we have to deal with in our everyday encounters.”
  • "When talking about ‘strong Black women,’ we don’t just assume that their strength fell out of the sky and landed in their brain.”
  • "We can’t continue to trust the government to do the right thing.”
