"It was time to represent blacks in French film—in under a month, we went from coauthors to a true collective"

“What is played in French cinema does not only concern our very privileged environment, it concerns all of society”

“We are a family. We say everything, right? All of you who are not impacted by issues related to invisibility, stereotypes or the issue of skin color…the good news is that it will not happen without you. Think inclusion”

“We’re not going to leave French cinema alone”

“We survived whitewashing, blackface, tons of dealer roles, housekeepers with a Bwana accent, we survived the roles of terrorists, all the roles of hypersexualized girls”

“The best thing would be for all talents, regardless of skin color, to have access to the same opportunities”

“I would be delighted if after this book, and with the other actions we plan to take, that all communities be represented”
