“I don’t want a seat at the table. I actually don’t want to be at your table at all. I’m at this house over here and I’m employing people and everybody’s included.
“We’ve always had to be that. Half the time, on certain productions, if they don’t believe in diversity in the hair and makeup department, then we’re hair. We’re makeup. We’re wardrobe. You’ve got to make sure not only you know your lines, but everybody else knows their lines. Because you want it to be a success.
“So we’ve been multitasking as talent forever. Now we’re being given the opportunity to produce as well. For me, it’s just another day in the park but I’m also getting paid for it finally. Like Nicki Minaj said, ‘I been on!’ “
