“I could get rejected for jobs in acting, directing, or writing for the rest of my life, but nothing would ever take away what the experience of directing my first feature film had taught me: that I know myself better than I think I do and that I know my worth better than others think they do.”

“My body is a gift from my parents.
The temple of my soul, my mind, my heart.
My body is pride
a portrait of my land,
a love song.
My body is not yours to judge.
It is not yours to decide.
Not yours to criticize.
It's mine, mine alone, and no one else's.”

“Putting our minds to something has never been the problem. The problem has been: Who decides whose mind is worthy?”

“Until women are allowed to make mediocre works of art while still succeeding in the way that many white men get to do this every single day, we will not have the power to take our creative freedoms back. We will be limited by impossible expectations reserved for the few. As long as we are put and put ourselves on a patriarchal pedestal, too high to succeed and doomed to fail, then surely we will be set up to do exactly that, every time.”
