“I want to see women of African descent shine.” — Danai Gurira Quote

“I want to see women of African descent shine.”

“Why can't black women on stage tell stories that can affect white men in the audience?”

“If my work is on the stage, you can be rested assured I'm going to make use of it as a platform for activism as much as possible.”

“I haven't really ever seen a big budget Hollywood film with African music. Most of the time, it's just Hollywood's perception of what African music is.”

“There's never been a weak South African or Australian team. They are fighters.”

“If you're looking at the people who head the institutions, there are very few African Americans or people of colour. I'm talking about the major theatres that position themselves as serving all audiences. What you find is, by and large, people who are shaping what we see, and the people who are the tastemakers are white.”
