I'm The Type Of Individual

The World Has White People And Black People In It. Even In Harlem.

This Is A Career About Images. It's Celluloid; They Last For Ever. I'm A Black Woman From America. My People Were Slaves In America, And Even Though We're Free On Paper And In Law, I'm Not Going To Allow You To Enslave Me On Film, In Celluloid, For All To See.

I'm The Type Of Individual That I Enjoy Watching Any Different Cultural Lives, And I See The Common Humanity Even Though The Hair Textures Are Different Or The Skin Tones Are Varied.

When I Was In School, My Mother Stressed Education. I Am So Glad She Did. I Graduated From Yale College And Yale University With My Master's And I Didn't Do It By Missing School.

Don't Settle For Average. Bring Your Best To The Moment. Then, Whether It Fails Or Succeeds, At Least You Know You Gave All You Had. We Need To Live The Best That's In Us.
