Race Is A Very Sensitive Subject.

But, Once Again, When I Said I'm So Grateful For My Mom Just Being Adamant About Me Staying In Public School - That Is What Allowed Me To Be Exposed To So Many Different Types Of People. I Went To A High School That Was By The Beach. I Elected To Do Bussing My Junior High School Years. And My First Year Of High School, I Would Take The Bus From My Neighborhood To The Beach Schools. And At Those Schools, You Had Such A Mix Of So Many Types Of Kids.

And What Happens A Lot Of Times When - Let's Just Speak Specifically White And Black - When White Or Black People Feel Misunderstood When It Comes To Talking About Race, They Immediately Get Defensive.

And There's Also Not Enough Films That Are More Of A Imitation Of What Real Life Looks Like.

"southland" Was Not Written For A Black Woman.

I Think I've Been Lucky In The Regard To Have A Team That Sees Me As An Artist.
