On being a Black Woman in art ... “Being an artist was never really a choice; writing and the performing arts were introduced to me young and have been integrated into my lifestyle since childhood. Being a Woman who is an artist is a part of who I am. Being a Black Woman Artist means my art gets to be free and substantial in a way that is unique to the Black experience. Womanhood and Blackness in art don’t conform to conventional expectation, they exceed it.”
"I believe that the privilege of a lifetime is being who you are, truly being who you are. And I've spent far too long apologizing for that..." Viola Davis
