anthonyymackie:@creatorsofcolornet event 1: idols↳ VIOLA DAVISI got the Oscar, I got the Emmy, I got the two Tonys, I’ve done Broadway, I’ve done Off Broadway, I’ve done TV, I’ve done film — I’ve done all of it.

Not as far as money, not as far as job opportunities — nowhere close to it.People say, “You’re a Black Meryl Streep … We love you, there is no one like you.” Okay, then if there’s no one like me — you think I’m that — you pay me what I’m worth. You give me what I’m worth. -- source link
