When I Was A Kid,

This Moment Is So Much Bigger Than Me. It's For Every Nameless, Faceless Woman Of Colour That Now Has A Chance Because This Door Tonight Has Been Opened.

Any Time You Risk Big You Often Risk Losing Big. You Can Win Big But You Can Also Lose Big, But You Have To Be Willing To Take Those Risks.

It Gave Me Strength And Toughness Because I Had To Face Reality, No Matter How Uncomfortable Or Painful It Was.

Blackness Is A State Of Mind And I Identify With The Black Community. Mainly, Because I Realized, Early On, When I Walk Into A Room, People See A Black Woman, They Don't See A White Women. So Out Of That Reason Alone, I Identify More With The Black Community.

For Me, The Walk Of The Character Is Always The First Part That I Must Define For Myself.
