"When I was a little girl, I was always acting… and the first
time I thought I could be an actor was when I watched ‘The
Color Purple’. I mean, I grew up in Kenya and a lot of our
programming was from all over the world, and we didn’t see
ourselves on screen. So it was really rare to see a world just
populated with people that look like me. And there was
Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah and everything, and they we
re doing this thing that just - just called me. And you know
, it’s so meaningful to be sitting here beside you. And it
means a lot to me so thank you for planting that seed."
