Black women know that we've got to take care of it - so we take care of it. It's just embedded in us.
Beauty has always been an element of discussion for black women, whether or not we were the ones having the conversation.
Vampires are sexy to a woman perhaps because the fantasy is similar to that of the man on the white horse sweeping her off to paradise.
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 audiences are hard. They always think they're better than you. So you got to come with a little extra to satisfy them.
We have to remember that people are free to love who they want to love. That also means that black women are free to love who they want to love.
Black women as a group have never been fools. We couldn't afford to be.
All black women aren't sassy, loud, difficult, or subservient. We are, in fact, very complex and very diverse, living very complex and diverse lives. That point cannot be made enough.
