These two brilliant black, top-tier women came together. And we had our next call, we were on Zoom and I was sitting there and I looked up and I saw Jennifer come on the line. She told me it was her second opportunity to direct. You see the similarities, right?” But she said no because she’s on the other side of the camera now. You know, Cookie, been in jail, I’ve been in jail. And then she was like, “well, I’m gonna get back with you in a week or so and I’m gonna let you know who we’ve been able to select to come and play you in the movie.” Of course, I’m like, “you’re Cookie, you should be.

And though these are true sentiments, stories as old as time have proven that these cannot and will not stop a determined individual ready to break free. We’ve all heard the conversations that, “I was born on the wrong side of the tracks” or “I wasn’t born with a silver spoon” to express hardships, set-ups for failure, and an explanation of the lack of success.
