I am glad that she has been speaking up about so many different issues lately. It seems like she is done holding her tongue and I am here for it. Hollywood and the industry need to be called out for the multiple shitty ways they treat people, especially POC.

It makes me sad that we are in an era of black actresses who ARE being booked having to martyr themselves and blow up their careers to advocate for everyone else....it must be so bad out there

This! I am so glad she is exposing all of this because it needs to be known but I hope her career can survive!

The press tour for this movie has been exhausting. Or maybe it’s just been the media’s coverage of the tour that’s been so negative and (for me) off-putting.

They’ve done really cute promo. But that’s not what is being pushed or is getting the most attention.

I mean, you’re going to get robbed if you’re sitting in the back seat or the drivers seat.

You’d think the smartest thing would be to put up the cast all in one location and just have a couple vehicles driving them back and forth..

I thought a similar thing, some kind of carpooling would be smart, cuts costs (and environmental impact) a bit but makes sure the cast is safe and not driving on just 5 hours of sleep or after a 14 hour day on set.

Absolutely wild. If anyone knows anything about Atlanta it’s that it’s a traffic hellscape. I’m so glad she’s speaking out about all the clear racism and sexism she’s experienced even as a star.
