Now this is a woman who didn’t read Flygirl.

This is simplistic, no doubt, but she’s still right about the value of letting go of other people’s judgments. And I really like what she said in another Time piece that they link to in this one:

True story: the 90's were much much better for black people on TV and movies than today. Like waaay better.

I suspect she means in this millennium. Maybe even this decade.

The broader point that separate awards don’t fix the problem is important, but it shouldn’t preclude the creation of community and recognition in separate spaces.
