As a kid, there [on TV] were things I wasn't aware of - insecurities while transition from teen to adult. When I was around 17 and 18, I started seeing the benefits of this world.

As a young, Black man, I absolutely feel responsible.

Working with Ava [ DuVernay] and Oprah [Winfrey], they're just so intimate. I feel like we're really family at this point.

That [Louisiana culture] was all very new to me. I read books and watched documentaries, just trying to immerse myself.

I really got attracted to the idea of touching so many people and that idea of art transcending entertainment and art and activism being synonymous.
