“My vision and my idea was always to share the achievements and contributions and beauty and talent and artistry of Black people with the world. And to do it through film and television.”

"I think that spaces like this are so important to give us the room to tell our stories in new and interesting ways"

"The call for content creators to share the African American Experience does not wait for peace or promise. Our stories are part of what makes the world a better place."
