"southland" Was Not Written For A Black

The Good News For Me Is That I Have An Amazing Team Behind Me, And They've Been With Me For 20 Years Now - Almost 20 Years. And They Have Seen Me As An Actress, Not Necessarily Just A Black Actress. So I Have Been Lucky Enough For Them To See Me That Way.

I Had Been Going On Auditions And Things Like That Since I Was Probably 10 - 11 Years Old.

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.

"legally Blonde 2" Wasn't Written Specifically For A Black Woman.

I Know In My Own Marriage I Stayed In It To Provide My Son With What I Thought Was A Stable Background And To Give Him What I Thought Was The Family Life A Child Should Have With Two Parents. But That Isnt Always The Best Way, And It Took Me Taking My Son To Therapy After The Divorce To Really See It.
