Black women's feelings of responsibility for nurturing the children in their own extended family networks have stimulated a more generalized ethic of care where black women feel accountable to all the black community's children.

I definitely intend to create my own work in the future so that we don't have to keep saying, We don't have work for black women.'

We still have to create things for African American women. Just like Tyler Perry is doing it, we can't wait for things to happen; you have to go and make and create roles and go to people.

Not just as a black woman, but as a woman, since the beginning of time, beauty has been our responsibility.

Black women all over the world should re-unite and re-examine the way history has portrayed us.

Being the person I am, you know, the size I am, being a woman, being a black woman, there's not a lot of roles for us.

Our children need to see and hear about more black role models in many fields so they can make better choices.

I think the black community is no different from any other community. We need to take responsibility for how we live together. We need to be personally responsible for keeping our streets clean, our schools safe, and our houses peaceful.

Women are responsible for creating their own roles.
