Icon.
I stand on the shoulders of Ida B Wells, Gordon Parks, David Jackson. And because women like Barbara, Robyne Robinson, Roxane Battle and Lissa Jones believed in me. No one does it alone & I would not be where I am if not for them & those who paved the way for women like me 🙌🏽🏆🏆

Just finished @moryan's book BURN IT DOWN. Fascinating look at how Hollywood ended up in the mess it's in and ways to change things from the inside. As a Hollywood outsider (20 years of making indie documentaries) I'll be out here building something new from the ashes.
