“This film is for the risk-takers. This film is for the people who maybe even are the naysayers — who never believed that a Black woman, especially dark-skinned women, can lead a global box office.” “This film is for the Black women who are out there on the periphery, a conduit, a vehicle to shine a beautiful and glorious light. I’m really proud to be a part of that,” “I see every chocolate girl who is like you. I’m telling you to stop running. This is my gift to you.” - @violadavis ❤️ I know all that it has taken to get here. Little Wanda is balling her eyes out as she bares witness to this moment. This journey has been a big part of my healing. I want to run and hug all the previous versions of myself that thought they were anything other than worthy...man what a dreamer you are Wanda!!! I’m in awe of you 🤲🏾💐 this is for all my chocolate girls all over the globe, a gift to you. Go and do that “big, crazy thing” they said you couldn’t do.
