“ I want to be a voice for the voiceless.”
You cannot win an Emmy for roles that are not there.
All you need is one person to believe in you.
I became an artist, and thank God I did, because we are the only ones who can tell the truth.
I want to be a voice for the voiceless.
The only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is opportunity.
“ You cannot be afraid to fail. It’s the only way you succeed.”
“ I became an artist, and thank God I did, because we are the only ones who can tell the story.”
“ The only thing that separates women of color from anyone else is opportunity.”
“ All I ever wanted to be was a working actress.”
“ You cannot be afraid to fail.”
