She explained: “Now we talk to each other, we work together and we know that not to be true. Like even with ‘Little Fires Everywhere,’ it deals with the nuances of womanhood and motherhood regardless of outward identity.”
She also claims that there is a lack of understanding toward her perspective of the industry, which gives her “a lot to say,” even if she doesn’t consider herself to be a “leader.”
She said: “I don’t even know that I saw myself as a leader, I just saw myself as a person with a lot to say. I think the more I started to work in this industry, I started to understand that there weren’t a lot of people who understood my perspective as a woman or as a woman of color in power, and I had to create that opportunity.”
