A Question I Get Asked A Lot

Mom Is The Most Unconditionally Loving Person I Will Ever Know, And She Has Always Supported Me On Every Level.

As Much As My Parents Are Part Of Hollywood, I Have No Recollection Of Them Giving Me Advice About It.

There's No Sense That You Can Knock On Your Neighbor's Door Or Be Part Of A Local Community Group, And That's Part Of Your Responsibility As A Human Being.

I'm Lucky Because I Have So Many Clashing Cultural, Racial Things Going On: Black, Jewish, Irish, Portuguese, Cherokee. I Can Float And Be Part Of Any Community I Want. The Thing Is, I Do Identify With Being Black, And If People Don't Identify Me That Way That's Their Issue. I’m Happy To Challenge People's Understanding Of What It Looks Like To Be Biracial, Because Guess What? In The Next 50 Years, People Will Start Looking More And More Like Me.

When People Don't Know What You Are, You Get Your Heart Broken Daily.
