Quotes
[on the importance of diverse casting in "Hamilton" ] Raising a young black girl, I can't tell you how difficult it is for me to find books and films and works of art that are not centered around white people and white beauty and white genius and white joy. Ushering black and brown beauty into the world is still political, and it is still important because the examples are few and far between.
