I think what we need, especially in publishing, is more commissioning editors and editors who are people of colour.

I love putting people to work of color.

There are many people of color who are very talented.

Studio heads seem to be getting the message that there is not only an audience out there, but there is a desire for people to see people of colour in central roles and in authoritative roles.

Many theaters are tackling the multifaceted work of black writers - established and emerging. Now the next step is for them to bring in audiences of color and continue to go out to our community and create a continuous connection that extends beyond the one black show in the season.

You can't have too many books featuring people of color, just like you can't have too many books featuring white people.

My responsibility is, I'm always trying to look for new people of color or even artistic people who need a chance.

I always crave to see more stories about and by people of color, particularly new work by young black writers.

I think new writers everywhere need opportunities to get published.

People are tired of mainstream media's limited and confined portrayal of people of color.
