Race Is A Very Sensitive Subject.

I Think I've Been Lucky In The Regard To Have A Team That Sees Me As An Artist.

Divorce Is The Hardest Obstacle I've Had To Overcome In My Life. I Would Like To Believe That Most People Don't Get Married Anticipating Divorce. When I Reached That Crossroad, I Felt Like Such A Failure. After Years Of Therapy Together, I Realized That Staying Together Was Emotionally Destructive. My Husband Didn't Want The Divorce, But I Did. So There Was A Lot Of Bitterness Initially. Although We Are Still Divorced, We Still Call Each Other "family." It Was A Journey To Get There, But It's A Beautiful Place To Be.

And, For Example, Like, When You're Having The Conversation With Your Child About Getting Their Driver's License. Well, A White Family - Their Biggest Fear Is Just That You're Driving Safely And That They're Minding The Rules Of The Road, Whereas A Black Family - Their Biggest Fear Is That Their Child Is Going To Get Pulled Over And Treated Unfairly For A Reason That They Won't Understand.

I Recognize The Amount Of Time That It Takes As A Director. I Made The Choice To Stop Taking Roles Outside Of L.a. Because I Didn't Want To Miss Any Of My Child's Life.

A Modern Mom To Me Is Not Always Someone That Juggles A Career And Family. A Modern Mom Is A Woman Who Takes Care Of Herself On The Inside And The Outside.
