I Don't Have A Tailor, But I

I Know That There Is Still A Lot Of Bitterness And Anger, And Arguably Justifiably So, When You Think About How Brutal Slavery Was And What Its Brutal Legacy Still Is.

I Turned Down A Lot Of Easier Opportunities In Order To Go For The Things That I Really And Ultimately Wanted To Do. And What's Really Nice Is That It's Starting To Work. I've Been An Actor For Coming Up On 14 Years Now And The Level Of Activity That's Taking Place Now Is A Culmination Of A Slow Cooker Approach To As Opposed To A Microwave.

I'm Very Aware Of How Much Movies, Literature And Art Affect Culture. They Are A Reflection Of The World Around Us And They Are Also A Means By Which We Engage With The World Around Us.

I Know For A Fact The Reason I'm An Actor Is Because One, Two, Maybe Three People When I Was Younger Saw Something That I Did, In Youth Theater Or Some Small Play Somewhere, And Said, "you're Good."

Because I Was Aspirational, I Did My Work, I Was Respectful To My Teachers, I Experienced A Lot Of Bullying From The Black Kids. My Friends Were Largely White Or Asian.
