“All the other superheroes save the world, they don’t just save women from cracked faces. I always knew it was a crap situation for a superhero to be in, but at this point – I’ve had no agency in my career. Today, I have or believe that I could go against it, so I agreed.” .

“I kept moving forward.”

“I didn’t like the criticism from the fans. As a black woman, I’m used to carrying negativity on my back, fighting, being a fish swimming against the tide.”he added.

“I’m used to defying stereotypes and getting out of all kinds of situations. I didn’t want to look stupid, but I went and took it, with some self-respect, and kept going. It’s not like that. It’s not going to stop me because I’ve been fighting all my life as a black man, I didn’t like a little bad publicity , but that wouldn’t stop me from making the world.”
