I've been thinking a lot about folks denying what has happened in history, or just not acknowledging it.

Аrt movements are always linked to some kind of turmoil.

I think often if people don't have a lot of experience with a particular type of person or a particular type of brain, they can make dangerous assumptions. That's one of the reasons that I'm so interested in contradicting and troubling held thoughts about black women.

I liked the idea of using this mega-star [Beyoncé ] to talk about all those things on the tiny scale of my life.

I really hope that people feel permission to talk about their own troubles, but also to celebrate themselves.
