Here are a few interview interludes:
LUPITA NYONG'O says;
On her success, despite an agent telling her that her skin was "too dark for African television":
"I grew up with a very limited mirror of myself. I watched a lot of TV, but the people on it were always light skinned. And now I have a platform that takes me into people's houses and onto the pages of their magazines."
AJA NAOMI KING says;
On looking to the inspiring people she works with to get started on her future as an artist:
"I want to write, I want to direct, I want to produce—I want to inhabit what I think it means to fully be an artist. I always wanted to do that, but I didn't think I had the tools. Now I look at Viola [Davis] and I look at Nate [Parker] and I look at Shonda [Rhimes] and it's like, You just do it. You just begin, you know?"
