The 2023 Black Women in Hollywood honoree details how Black women and the south have fostered her creativity as an artist.

“You want to pay reverence, you want to honor where you come from. I am an Atlantan. I am a child of these civil rights institutions that have been critical in the freedoms that everybody in this country gets to receive. And Mamie is the progenitor of the Civil Rights Movement in this way. Those people were impacted by her. So that brilliance that she exuded and that she was able to make the choice to show at the time, that’s a birth from a Black woman.”
