Hell yeah, I would. Because I love performing and working with creative people on projects that I care about. Obviously she doesn't do it for the money. She knows that her involvement helps projects get made and get seen.

Mo'Nique Explains How She's Being Blackballed in Hollywood
If Katherine Heigl can get work after biting the hand that feeds (repeatedly) and just being the worst, I don't why Mo'Nique is having opportunities taken away.
Mo'Nique says that several major acting opportunities initially offered to her "all just went away" afterward. That includes a role in Empire (now a huge show for Fox) and the part in Lee Daniels' The Butler that Oprah Winfrey ended up playing. Mo'Nique was also supposed to play Richard Pryor's grandmother in a…
This is an excellent example of an actor benefiting from a director with a strong, specific vision. Everything she's done before and since has not exhibited the caliber of performance Mo'Nique gave in Precious.
I will cosign this. While (most of) the performances were phenomenal, the movie itself left me with a "meh" feeling when the credits rolled.
The entitlement in telling another woman what to do with her eyebrows. I just — not to be obnoxious about it, but this is how women enact and enforce the patriarchy on one another.
What I heard: The most important thing to learn in college is conformity. It is not the time to experiment with ideas and finding your style! If you want to advance to the basic bitch big leagues when you graduate now is them time to stop thinking and start bronzing.
Can we talk about spanx? I don't wear them because aint nobody got time for that. But a friend of mine went through a spanx craze, only to abandon them, because she felt that they squished her body fat in such a way that she looked weirdly tube-like. She called it the 'german sausage' effect. And after she pointed…
Sundae, bloody sundae?
I guess you mean well.
I thought it was a wonderful piece, but I sincerely doubt that most good white people—or at least the good white people who run in my circles—believe that they "deserve a fucking prize." I think they're expressing empathy.
It is awfully close to "So ARTICULATE!"
"Nice diction"?
That line made me think of the 100,000 damn times I have argued on this site about how intentions don't matter if you consistently do the wrong thing. Your intention can only be pure once (if that); after that it's willful ignorance.
This has given me all the feels. I am struggling not to cut all of the white people out of my life (kind of hard, given I'm married to a white man) and many of those people are "good white people." They are shocked at racism and racist behavior— so much so they I get links to racist posts on websites because they…
I guess the question is "How can white people be supportive of the issue without seeming to demean or take over the issue? " If white people don't talk talk about what they do in the situation, then the narrative is that white people are ignoring the issue (which so many do). If white people talk about the issue,…
Am I overthinking? Am I just being paranoid? It's exhausting.
