“Everything in Louisiana is about layers. There are layers of race, layers of class, layers of survival, layers of death, and layers of rebirth. To live with these layers is to be a true Louisianian. This state has a depth that is simultaneously beyond words and yet as natural as breathing. How can a place be both other-worldly and completely pedestrian is beyond me; however, Louisiana manages to do it. Louisiana is spooky that way.”

“I want to see monuments to the victims of lynching instead of monuments to the lynchers. I was to see stories by Black people, not stories about us, and I believe it's imperative that Black creators approach those stories with a keen awareness that it's not just Black people watching.”

“I had an opportunity to know, and this is what I chose to believe. I had an opportunity to speak, and this is what I chose to say. I had an opportunity to act, and this is what I chose to do.”
